Unhappy Color level tweaking in Xorg


Hi,
I have an old SIS 6326 graphics card. I believe the card is messed up somehow, because it seems to display too much yellow and not enough blue. I figured there was probably a way to counteract this using some software tweaking... as in, offset the lack of blue and too much yellow by telling Xorg to display more blue hues and less yellow. I would also like to be able to make this work with my multiple monitor setup... my other card is an ATI Rage 128 Pro, and it functions properly, so I need to be able to apply these offset color settings to only one of the screens. I would just change the color settings on the monitor to offset it, but my monitor does not support color level tweaking, so I thought there must be a way to make this work on the software side. I remember there was a program I used to do this in windows and it would make it work fine... I dont remember the name of the program now though, and I doubt it would work correctly through wine, that's just to say I know it's possible to make the card work right with tweaking of this type. If anybody knows of a way I can do this with Xorg... weather with an external program/hack, or with something internal to Xorg, it would be much appriciated if you could point me in the right dirrection.

Thanks,
Marshall

P.S. Merry Christmas/Khannuka/whatever
