Installing a Color Profile for a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 in Ubuntu Linux Download the monitor drivers exe file from Lenovo's Support Site Ok won't unpack as an exe archive or cabextract...bah ok install wine and unpack it in that. wine 79oi26ww.exe Open the self extracting installer in wine and capture the files it writes out to Drivers/Win/Monitors within the .wine directory. Bah first problem........get-edid is thowing a fit so I don't know what panel I have Let's see what options are there for my resolution grep -i 1920x1080 TPLCD.INF Ok only 2 options LEN40B2 and LEN40B3 now I know I have the 95% Gamut display and one is listed in the ini as %TPWFHD% = TPLCDWFHDG95.Install, Monitor\LEN40B2 ; 15.6" Wide FHD 16:9 LED B/L 1920x1080 Gamut95 Right so that's me then :) Sooo lets look around in the same ini file and see what colour profile that really maps to shall we ? grep -A 2 \\[TPLCDWFHDG95.Install] TPLCD.INF [TPLCDWFHDG95.Install] ; Wide FHD 16:9 1920x1080 Gamut95 DelReg=DEL_CURRENT_REG AddReg=HD1920, DPMS, ICMG95 Almost there, so it maps to the ICMG95 profile which in turn grep -A 1 \\[ICMG95] TPLCD.INF [ICMG95] HKR,,ICMProfile,0,"TPLCD95.icm" So there we go...that's the file I need to load into gnome-color-manager, Who said Linux wasn't easy huh ? (update, this is now broken in Ubuntu 11.10 as you cannot load a Colour profile for an "unknown" display so now I really do need to fix edid) |
