Follow up and conclusion (for now?)
Thank's John for the detailed instructions. It turned out that there was a
huge electric storm in my area late last night. So I reason I'd better shut
my G4 QuickSilver down in case it gets hit by an electric surge. I shut it
down and even unplug it from the wall outlet (nothing I can do beyond that).
This morning, as I freshly started my Mac from limbo, I saw the effect of my
last selected system profile's VCGT tag being downloaded by the Displays
System Preferences to my video card as my monitor all of a sudden changed
color. Wow! I went straight for the Displays System Preferences pane and
roceeded to make some tests: everything is back to normal. Thank you Steve
Jobs. The Mac isn't so bad after all (it really made me curse last night).
Still, I find it strange. Because no matter how many times I restarted my
Mac yesterday, the monitor profile was forever stuck on 'Generic RGB'. I
tried restarting and Logging out many times but didn't think that a shut
down would do the trick? It's Unix, I figured.
I am experimenting with calibrating to 6500K as opposed to 5000K again. God,
does my screen ever look blue. And, yes, my Luminance is up to 89 cd/m2 from
83 cd/m2 (time to buy a new monitor soon, I know).
