10 f.f | [[-rgamma f.f] [-ggamma f.f] [-bgamma f.f]]]
11
13 xgamma allows X users to query and alter the gamma correction of a mon‐
14 itor via the X video mode extension (XFree86-VidModeExtension).
15
16 Note that the xgamma utility is obsolete and deficient, xrandr should
17 be used with drivers that support the XRandr extension.
18
19 If no value for the gamma correction is given via the -gamma or
20 -rgamma/-ggamma/-bgamma options, xgamma prints the current gamma cor‐
21 rection of the display.

42 or separately for the red, green and blue components. This
43 argument specifies the gamma correction as a single value.

47 tion.

59
61 This client changes the internal values of the gamma correction for the

63 drivers.
64
65 The gamma values are passed to the Xserver with 3 decimal places of
66 accuracy.
