Please at least document that this has changed somewhere. When distros
upgrade to an xrandr including these patches, anyone using xrandr to set
gamma values will currently find a silent behaviour change making their
monitors hard to read without obvious cause. Sure, it's fairly easy to
guess that taking the reciprocal of the previous gamma values is the
right thing to do even if you don't read this commit log, but it surely
needs a note somewhere.
