.SH BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
This client changes the internal values of the gamma correction for the
|
|
|
|
|
Xserver. Whether or not these values are respected depends on the video
|
|
|
|
|
drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The gamma values are passed to the Xserver with 3 decimal places of
|
|
|
|
|
accuracy.
