In theory (and I admit, I'm new to Linux, so I could easily be wrong here), you're using the same monitor, with the same settings, on the same computer...with the same file. The only difference being the OS that starts it up. I found a couple of ICC profile managers/loaders in my repository, so that's why I was asking...seems like it would be a heck of a lot easier to me, unless you don't have a dual-boot...but even then, you could still probably do it through VMWare or Win4Lin on the XP VM, then copy the file over to the Linux side.

I finally feel I understand colour management - a subject I first encountered with MacOS 9, where it confused me utterly. I wondered - has anybody tried running a calibration tool under WiNE? If it worked it would seem to be one way to do things like this without needing driver support. The thing that occurs to me is that you might end up with calibration that only works when WiNE apps are running. First, thanks for producing these excellent articles.

I guess until you actually have the hardware in hands, there is no way to know for sure. Check if you got any build error and if dispcal exists. You may want to try loading a profile via dispwin; if you download xcalib, it comes with a blueish.icc which makes your monitor all blue - that is a good testbed. Take care, Joël Hi Ron,

So you should have no problem using it for monitor calibration under Linux (not sure about projector, though). Hope this helps. Take care, Joel Hi Ron,
