I decided to buy one on the basis that Kurt Roeckx has been using one
successfully under (Debian) Linux. I also examined the User's Guide and
found that it includes minimal information about setting the monitor up
under Linux, i.e. X, which is more than you usually learn about
monitors. I realize it may not give me perfect results, but I think I
will be able to do better than I have been able to with my Samsung
Syncmaster 226CW. $800 is more than I would like to spend, but I am
getting tired of continually trying to get an acceptable calibration
with limited success.
I've been following the discussion of the Samsung XL20 with limited
success, and I would appreciate a summary of the high points which will
help me set it up.
I am running Fedora Linux 9 (and I also have Ubuntu 8.04 on a laptop).
I have an Eye One Pro. I would like guidance about the following
points.
1. I presume I can set it up initially as a generic LCD with 1600 x 1200
resolution, and my system will detect the HorizSync and VertRefresh. Or
will I have to start in text mode and configure xorg.conf?
2. Should I use the Huey that comes with the monitor to
calibrate/profile or would I be better off using my Eye One Pro?
3. To what extent can I use the monitor calibration/profiling utilities
under Linux? My impression from the discussion is that I can do some of
it that way, and then I can do the rest using the Argyll programs.
4. Any other advice would also be appreciated.
