Does any one know of a colibration solution for monitors with SUN Unix?
Solaris comes with some color management libraries from kodak which use
ICC profiles. Prowl around docs.sun.com for details. There is a tool
to load the X server color management config from an ICC profile. (Yes,
though most people have completely missed it, X11 has had device
independent color for ages. Too bad I have yet to meet a single piece
of software that actually uses it. Hunt around in X11 docs for "xcms".)
I'm not aware of any software for monitor profiling software that runs
under Solaris, but you could in principle attach the monitor to a PeeCee
or a Mac and build a profile that way, then load it on the Sun.
As a footnote, a great many (all?) of those Kodak scan & print stations
are based on Sun Ultra-5 workstations, presumably running Solaris.
