Hi all,

I've been talking with Hal about creating display profiles using the affordable hardware with windows support.
Maybe this is of general interest, since I'm probably not the only one who would like to use
such monitor profiles under linux

I don't have access to the Colorvision Spyder 2 yet, but I doubt that it comes
with software that can be used to measure single patches and output the
measurements.

I'd like to try two approaches:
1. Try to make sure that no custom curves are loaded by the windows driver,
 and use the provided profiling software, if possible

2. running the profile software on a separate laptop, and forwarding the screen
 via VNC to the linux display where the spyder2 will do its measurements.

Any comments?

ciao
