Hi All,
A mysterious monitor profile, "NEC-LCD2190UXi-85414002YA_edid.icc",
has appeared on my computer. I used icctoxml to examine the profile.
It looks like it was created back in March, 2012, shortly after I
installed OpenSuse 12.1 on my computer (was previously running Debian
Sid).
This mystery monitor profile seems to have been pulled from the
monitor itself, which I didn't even know was possible. I would have
remained blissfully unaware of its existence, except recently (perhaps
yesterday) it managed to get itself installed as my system monitor
profile.
I don't use a system monitor profile. I do use a monitor profile that
I made using Argyllcms. My own monitor profile has completely
different primaries and tone curves, not to mention a different name
and location on my computer.
Also, every time I restart my computer, a video-lut gets loaded. I'm
guessing the lut goes with the mystery profile, but it's just a guess.
I can use "dispwin linear.cal" to replace the unwanted video-lut, but
I would really rather it didn't get loaded at all.
Here are the first few lines from the mystery video-lut, saved using
"dispwin -s mystery-video-lut.cal":
KEYWORD "RGB_I"
NUMBER_OF_FIELDS 4
BEGIN_DATA_FORMAT
RGB_I RGB_R RGB_G RGB_B
END_DATA_FORMAT
NUMBER_OF_SETS 256
BEGIN_DATA
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000
3.9216e-03 3.9063e-03 3.9063e-03 3.9063e-03
7.8431e-03 7.8126e-03 7.8126e-03 7.8126e-03
0.011765 0.011719 0.011719 0.011719
0.015686 0.015625 0.015625 0.015625
0.019608 0.019532 0.019532 0.019532
0.023529 0.023438 0.023438 0.023438
And here is are the equivalent lines from "linear.cal":
KEYWORD "RGB_I"
NUMBER_OF_FIELDS 4
BEGIN_DATA_FORMAT
RGB_I RGB_R RGB_G RGB_B
END_DATA_FORMAT
NUMBER_OF_SETS 256

7.8431e-03 7.8431e-03 7.8431e-03 7.8431e-03
0.011765 0.011765 0.011765 0.011765
0.015686 0.015686 0.015686 0.015686
0.019608 0.019608 0.019608 0.019608
0.023529 0.023529 0.023529 0.023529
I'm really hoping someone can shed some light on this unwanted profile
and/or video-lut. I got rid of the monitor profile (it no longer
installs itself) by removing it from the ./local/share/color/device
folder (don't know how it got there, didn't even know there was such a
folder). But I can't get the video-lut to stop loading.
