I suggested 0.5 as a crude way of turning down the green;
this is a relative gamma; "xgamma -rgamma 1.0" would make the red gamma
exactly the same as not using gamma correction in the server.
Ideally you would display red, green and blue ramps, measure what appears 
on the screen, and use these measurements to calculate the data feed 
into XF86VidModeSetGammaRamp, perhaps with different values for each 
monitor, and re-measuring as the monitor ages.
