With next Mandriva release, you will only need to install argyllcms
package and it will be working out of the box.
Of course, you will have to learn argyllcms CLI but that is another story.

The big problem here is more hardware support (ie accessing the
colorimeter device) than software support.
My (and other GNOME hackers too) future goal is to try to get a
descent color support in GNOME. For now, I'm planning to be able to
set a calibration file (automatically applied at startup) and a color
profile, using XICC specification (since it is starting to be used in
many linux application).
