Native uses the settings currently in place with your hardware and hardware
controls. If you have tuned your whitepoint with PreCAL; then definately use
Native. If not, then you have the choice of forcing a whitepoint adjustment at
the videocard level. Doing so will compromise the number of levels per channel
available, so if your device's native whitepoint is something reasonable (that
is to say its relates reasonably to paper white under a proofing light) then
you may prefer to use Native; otherwise you would chose your targeted
whitepoint (6500 is common) and live with the compromises entailed.
