Hi,
I stubled across something I don't understand and I hope someone out there
can explain it to me. I opened the monitors CDEV to play with the feature
mentioned on the net a while ago (option-clicking on the 7.0 gives you a list
of names....) and accidently option-clicked the options button.
In addition to the usual information that I have an SE/30 with internal video
(I use the built in screen only), I got an additional check-box and scrolling
list. The check-box says "Use Special Gamma". When you check it, the
scrolling list becomes active. The list has only one entry "Uncorrected
Gamma". If you hit ok you get the error "The Video Card won't accept that
gamma setting."
So what is a gamma setting?? What would be different if I had a different
setting?? How do you get other items in that scrolling list?? Generally
what is this all about??
thanks,
Matt Farmer
