+		<description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago my color calibration gadget
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hughski.com/index.html&quot;&gt;ColorHug&lt;/a&gt; arrived in the
+mail, and I&#39;ve had a few days to test it.  As all my machines are
+running Debian Squeeze, where 
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/colorhug-client.html&quot;&gt;the
+calibration software&lt;/a&gt; is missing (it is present in Wheezy and Sid),
+I ran the calibration using the Fedora based live CD.  This worked
+just fine.  So far I have only done the quick calibration.  It was
+slow enough for me, so I will leave the more extensive calibration for
+another day.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;After calibration, I get a
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICC_profile&quot;&gt;ICC color
+profile&lt;/a&gt; file that can be passed to programs understanding such
+tools.  KDE do not seem to understand it out of the box, so I searched
+for command line tools to use to load the color profile into X.
+xcalib was the first one I found, and it seem to work fine for single
+monitor setups.  But for my video player, a laptop with a flat screen
+attached, it was unable to load the color profile for the correct
+monitor.  After searching a bit, I
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347896&quot;&gt;discovered&lt;/a&gt;
+that the dispwin tool from the argyll package would do what I wanted,
+and a simple&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+dispwin -d 1 profile.icc
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;later I had the color profile loaded for the correct monitor.  The
+result was a bit more pink than I expected.  I guess I picked the
+wrong monitor type for the &quot;led&quot; monitor I got, but the result is good
+enough for now.&lt;/p&gt;
