I choose increasing close mathematical gammas in OptiCAL, until I find the
one that's as close as possible for the device (with an LCD this may mean the
native is above the mathematical gamma at some points and below at others, or
lower in some color channels, and higer in others... CRTs are certainly smoother
and more consistant).

By not sending any LUT data to the video card. In OptiCAL this means

It does indeed, which is why PreCAL is used for this function before doing
any of the above...
