I want to change gamma for my first monitor. Every time I invoke xgamma with different -display
parameters it somehow points to my second monitor. But I want to modify first one.
I tried these commands.
The parameters I have used for -display
are :0
, :0.0
, :0.1
, :1.0
, :1.1
, :1
. Only the first 2 works. But it points to my second monitor. Not the first one. Here is a shell script to test it.
shiplu@KubuntuD:~$ xgamma -display :0
-> Red 1.000, Green 1.000, Blue 1.000
shiplu@KubuntuD:~$ xgamma -display :0.0
-> Red 1.000, Green 1.000, Blue 1.000
shiplu@KubuntuD:~$ xgamma -display :0.1
xgamma: unable to open display ':0.1'
shiplu@KubuntuD:~$ xgamma -display :1.0
xgamma: unable to open display ':1.0'
shiplu@KubuntuD:~$ xgamma -display :1.1
xgamma: unable to open display ':1.1'
shiplu@KubuntuD:~$ xgamma -display :1
xgamma: unable to open display ':1'
How can I change the gamma for the first/primary monitor?
