NAME
xgamma - Alter a monitor's gamma correction through the X server
SYNOPSIS
xgamma
[-display
display] [-screen
screen] [-quiet] [-version]
[-gamma f.f | [[-rgamma f.f] [-ggamma f.f] [-bgamma f.f]]]
DESCRIPTION
xgamma
allows X users to query and alter the gamma correction of a monitor via
the X video mode extension (XFree86-VidModeExtension).
Note that the xgamma utility is obsolete and deficient, xrandr
should be used with drivers that support the XRandr extension.
If no value for the gamma correction is given via the
-gamma
or
-rgamma/-ggamma/-bgamma
options,
xgamma
prints the current gamma correction of the display.

The gamma correction can either be defined as a single value, or
separately for the red, green and blue components. This argument
specifies the gamma correction as a single value.
- -rgamma f.f
-
This argument specifies the red component of the gamma correction.
- -ggamma f.f

This argument specifies the green component of the gamma correction.

This argument specifies the blue component of the gamma correction.

BUGS
This client changes the internal values of the gamma correction for the
Xserver. Whether or not these values are respected depends on the video
drivers.
The gamma values are passed to the Xserver with 3 decimal places of
accuracy.
