[argyllcms] Misc questions about argyllcms tools

Hello,

I've just bought a used X-Rite DTP92 optimizer, because it can be used with
argyllcm tools under Linux. I make some tests, and I have the following
questions:

1) I'm using a dual head config, with a laptop and an external iiyama Vision
Master Pro 450 (A901HT) 19" CRT. I use this CRT to display my pictures; the
internal LCD panel is only used for tools. But all color patches appear at
the middle of the entire screen, which for me is half on both screens !
Is there a way to have these patches displayed at a user defined place ?

To make some more tests, I reduced the resolution of the CRT screen, so patches
are now displayed at the right of the LCD panel.

2) If the brightness of the LCD is too high, I get the following error during
'dispread' use:

    Sample read failed due to misread

If I reduce the brightness (3 or 4 levels), it works. Why? Could it be a 
hardware
problem?

3) During 'dispcal' calibration, a lot of patches remain green. And the
calibration is totally wrong. Also, if I use 'dispread' with a .cal file, I
get the following error:

    Dispread: Error - docalibration failed with return value -1

4) Is there a way to reset the LUT values after 'dispread' have modified them ?

5) I succefully compiled Argyllcms, but installation failed on:

And if I try to use 'dispcal', I get half of the help message, and then a
'segmentation fault', juste before it writes the serial port available.
Tools from the binary package works fine.

Sorry for all these newbie questions, but I would love to make these tools
working, as they look great, and are the only available under Linux !
