greenish tint in X

Rocker · 02-02-2005, 04:07 PM

I just got a second 17" lcd monitor today. It is a Cornea CT1700, and my video card is a PCI ATI All In Wonder Radeon. I configured X so that It would work with both monitors, which works fine. The problem is, the newer monitor has a greenish tint on it. I am assuming it is not hardware right now, but let me know what you think. What different things could cause this? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

i would assume HW first for a tint issue; check your pins...

You can tinker with your xgamma display to fix the color...

Code:

man xgamma

i'm a genius!

it's stupid, but the first step is always to check the cables, the power switch, and everything else that it just can't possibly be.

yeah, yeah...

i thought about mentioning we (at least i do) appreciate rocker's humble honesty... it would've been much easier to say... "i went out for a cold one, and when i came back it worked. all of you who tried to help me are stupid, but thanks anyways."

but i didn't want to sap all over innocent bystanders...
