'xcmsdb -query' does not work since monitor dependend information are missing. #!/bin/sh awk '/^\s*[0-9]/{ for(i=4;i<=NF;i++) { printf $i " " } print "\trgb:"$1"/"$2"/"$3 }' <rgb.txt -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hello list, i was diving into Device Color Characterization of X11, since rgb.txt is dead. good news you can easy add new color names by adding to xcms.txt: <name> rgb:R/G/B bad news, X11 still defines names that are NOT defined here (try: xterm -bg gold) and xcms.txt requires some monitor data that are not available (read no idea were to get these), like RGB matrix and intensity profile. I tried xcmsdb -query but always got xcmsdb -query Could not find property XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_MATRICES Could not find property XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_CORRECTION i tried the xcms.txt from Jim Carter (http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jime/xcolor/color.txt) but it did not work, because for the xcmsdb failure his tcl-script xcolor breaks also. IMHO the whole stuff is tuned toward 1990-Monitors, i could not find any reference to LED/LCD/Plasma what ever. Since XDCC is now the only way to configure, improved documentation and examples, examples, examples are needed. re, wh -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
