Intel Rockness

Whilst trying to get the modesettings branch of the Intel X driver working, I noticed this in the LCD probe:

II) I810(0): redX: 0.569 redY: 0.342   greenX: 0.312 greenY: 0.544
(II) I810(0): blueX: 0.149 blueY: 0.132   whiteX: 0.313 whiteY: 0.329

IBM (this X60 is still branded IBM, not Lenovo) deserve some serious props for actually setting all of the data provided by the EDID spec. I best I should hack up a tool to generate ICC profiles from the primaries specified at startup.

Lenovo bought the rights to the IBM brand for five years along with the laptop division.  Just because it says IBM on the case doesn't mean IBM had anything to do with that...

Yeah, it's interesting how the business models are still branded IBM.  I think the consumer ones are branded Lenovo, though I'm not positive.

My T42 (Radeon Mobility 7500) only includes XY values for red/green/blue in the EDID data for port 2, the external LCD.

Does X support color profiles at all?  Does it support different color profiles for different monitors when using dual-head (MergedFB, not Xinerama)?

X has XCMS, but nothing uses it.  However, I have created a draft spec for storing ICC profiles in X so that applications can use them if they want:

So far Eye of Gnome, GIMP, Krita, and maybe more support this specification.
