anomalous_underdog (anomalous-underdog) wrote : twinview sets only one gamma correction value for both monitors

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

Using: kubuntu 8.10

I have:
* an old AOC Spectrum 7GlrA as a primary monitor
* a newly bought ViewSonic VA1616w as a secondary monitor
* an NVIDIA Inno3d GeForce 7600 GS

Since my primary monitor is old, I needed to tweak its color correction values (make it brighter, lower red gamma value) in nvidia-settings, while my secondary monitor is left with its default color values. Now when I set it to Twinview, what happens is the gamma correction value settings for my primary monitor is also applied to the secondary monitor, making my secondary monitor too bright and unviewable. I checked in nvidia-settings and indeed, the color correction settings for the secondary monitor is gone. I think they should still be there so users can still tweak color correction values for each monitor even while in TwinView.
