I have profiled both of my monitors using Proveit! everything was cool for a
while then one day my profile on my secondary monitor was gone!
I went to my monitors control panel and none of my custom monitor profiles
show up in the list on that monitor. They are all listed in the panel for

Have no clue what causes it, but I've had the same thing except it was the
main monitor's profiles that disappeared (wouldn't show up in the monitor
control panel) while the secondary monitor worked as expected and would see
all of the profiles. I'm running 9.04, ColorSync 3.01 and OptiCal 2.5.6.
In my case I just trashed all monitor profiles and the aliases in the
Displays profiles folder and rebuilt everything. After recalibration
everything worked as its supposed to. The only thing I've seemed to find
that's relevant is that if I calibrate the secondary display last, it screws
up the way the main display loads even if I don't select the OptiCal option
that asks the secondary monitor profile to be loaded as the system profile.
Check out the extended "more info" in ProveIt! When you enter the APP
you will find a subject listed as CLUT WARS. When I was using ProveIt
on my Mac G4/OS 9 setup I always had to startup ProveIt! to reset the
LUT set made for my monitor by the APP to overide the default VGA
display set Apple's Monitor control panel uses whenever you restart.
The easiest workaround I found for this was to never restart.
As for dual (and different) monitor CLUTs being active
simultaneously, I leave that one up to the experts.
