Thanks all for the helpful answers. I just spent a productive hour testing
some of the suggestions. Blue Eye Pro has an option to make a version 2
profile, and I found in the Advanced section that it was already set to
"Matrix-Profile." (The other option was "LUT-Profile." Can anyone tell me
what the difference is?) As predicted this created a profile that could be
used on 10.6.8, 10.5.8, 10.4.11 and 9.22.
Is there anything I am losing by using a v2 instead of a v4 profile? Any
concerns with v2 and my wide gamut monitor?
BTW, all Macs are connected to the monitor with DVI through a DVI KVM.
Although no one has commented on it so far, doesn't the fact that my monitor
has its own hardware LUT also help ensure that four Macs can share the same
profile? Wouldn't the monitor harware LUT also make this setup work with
analog/VGA connections, since the video card shouldn't be involved?
