+        <p>A few days ago my color calibration gadget
+<a href="http://www.hughski.com/index.html">ColorHug</a> arrived in the
+mail, and I've had a few days to test it.  As all my machines are
+running Debian Squeeze, where 
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/colorhug-client.html">the
+calibration software</a> 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.</p>
+
+<p>After calibration, I get a ICC color profile 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
+<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347896">discovered</a>
+that the dispwin tool from the argyll package would do what I wanted,
+and a simple</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+dispwin -d 1 profile.icc
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>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 "led" monitor I got, but the result is good
+enough for now.</p>
