How to calibrate a Bodhi notebook?

fanto · 06-15-2020, 09:28 AM

Hi there!

I would like to take a plenty of photos of small die cast cars and publish these photos on a website. As the cars colours matter I would like to gauge my notebooks display (without any additional hardware) but I cannot find out where to adjust the display's setings like colour, contrast and so on... Can anybody help?
I am running Bodhi 5.1 on my notebook.

Thanks a lot
Fanto

this reply and the one following it give some commands available on bodhi that might be capable of working with the display color: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...2/#post5998096

Thanks Cordx!
I am trying to get good colours with Xrandr and Xgamma... ...and will go on doing so tomorrow.

i am glad that seems like it might be helpful

this post also mentions xcalib which is available for bodhi 5.1 in case xrandr doesn't get you to where you want to be.

I don't think xrandr/xgamma is enough here, you probably want something like this:

Lacking a mainstream desktop environment, you should probably go for xiccd/xcalib/dispwin in the end.
