Thanks Florian! This is exactly what I was looking for!
You see, I had to remove the rpm I used on Fedor 12 since none of the files &
variables you mentioned were there...so I decided to remove the rpm and grab
the latest binary tarball (version 1.1.1) from the website (what I should have
done in the first place!).
After thiat, everyting works just like you pointed out. Now, I just need some
time to get used to my "calibrated monitor" after years of using it
uncalibrated :(
Once again, many thanks!
All the best,
Jorge
