Nvidia nview brightness
I haven't used the Eye-One Display 2 yet.because I didn't want to mess with any of the default monitor settings until I know for sure how to calibrate the monitor.Ĭurrently the monitor profile is set to default to "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM".
#NVIDIA NVIEW BRIGHTNESS DRIVERS#
The only thing I've done is loaded the Samsung monitor drivers and installed the Natural Color and Magic Tune software that came with the monitor. I've not changed any of the default settings on the monitor, as I just built this computer system four days ago. Other than the "Display Properties" found in the XP control panel, I have recently installed the Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet to help me manage my monitor profiles. The Nvidia Quadro video card also has software called "Nvidia Control Panel" to control gamma, image sharpening, contrast, digital vibrance, and brightness. The Samsung monitor is DDC compliant.there's only an on/off button on the monitor and everything else is controlled via the software that came with the monitor (Natural Color and Magic Tune software packages). Here's some other things to note about my setup. If anyone can help me calibrate this thing I would greatly appreciate it! They just tell you to do some kind of "Easy" calibration setup or do an "Advanced" calibration setup that gives you more control over the calibration process.
The Eye-One Display 2 doesn't have instructions on how to calibrate a monitor connected via DVI. I just purchased a Pantone/GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display 2 color calibrator that uses the Eye-One Match 3.6 software. It’s obviously a bit old, but you get the picture.I've got a Samsung SyncMaster 173P LCD monitor connected via DVI to an Nvidia Quadro FX560 PCIe x 16 video card. x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-169.07 supports xorg brightness control, too. "Brightness controls (Alt F10,F11) are hard wired, but only have effect while in text-mode, or using xorg-vesa- or xorg-nv-driver.
While researching, I found some info from that seems relevant:
It’s worth mentioning that even though the brightness controls did not work while in X, they nevertheless did work after changing to a text TTY. After finding this thread I tried again with 313.30, and the brightness controls work again. In both cases my brightness control did not work. I updated the nvidia-drivers package to 331.20 and then 325.15. I’m running Gentoo with xorg-server-1.14.3. I’m using a Lenovo T61p with a Quadro FX 570M. Let me chime in with what appears to be the same problem. So it looks like a regression for the 319.12 version specific. Just installed this version 313.30-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1, with that version the brightness controls are working like it should.

I am going back to a previous version now, because I can’t work without having those controls working, but I am perfectly able to test some things out if asked, a reboot and a reinstall of the driver is done in a minute. With the 304.x and 310.x drivers the controls were working fine.ĭISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=“Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)” I am using Ubuntu 13.03, with the latest xorg-edgers ppa installed.Īnd just installed the latest NVidia binary driver trough the repository.Īfter a reboot, I found out that my brightness controls are suddenly not working anymore.
