Help me get rid of these flat colors (xorg wise) [solved]

As the topic says, time has come to install Arch on this lappy after first checking in with a fedora 8 t3 live cd.
Now the problem is, Xorg gets the colors plain wrong on Arch. Colors look both too bright (no a real problem I can adjust the brightness of course), but also flat. This really is annoying for things like looking photos.
On fedora the colors look good, but I can't find anything color related they do to Xorg.
Well, basically any hints, tips, calibrating applications, or anything you can up with to get the colors good so this lappy can remain running arch ?
[edit] the videocard is an intel 845gm (same problem with both the i810 and intel driver)

I guess I should have looked there (thanks for pointing it out for me).
Sadly it does not work , although one would not say so from the Xorg.0.log
[ronald@Miranda log]$ cat Xorg.0.log | grep gamma
(**) intel(0): Using gamma correction (0.7, 0.7, 0.6)
Could this be because of
man xorg.conf wrote:Not all drivers are capable of using this information.

  • Can't get rid of these .plists

    When I run Disk Warrior, it finds four .plist files that it wants me to trash.
    So I trash them.
    But a few days later they mysteriously return. Can anyone help me get rid of these things permanently? This drives me bonkers.
    Many thanks,
    Harry.
    Here are two examples:
    com.utterlus.octodecimo.plist
    com.ratiess.datasoftware.plist.

    Plists are preferences files; a .plist is re-created when the app runs. I think you need to find out what apps creates these .plists. With names like that, I'd expect "octodecimo" and "datasoftware" to be name of apps or toolkits, and "utterlus" and "ratiess" to be the names of their developers. But I've never heard of such developers, nor such apps. This could simply mean that I'm ignorant (which indeed I am). On the other hand… If nothing else, I should look into it out of sheer curiosity.

  • Get rid of these Genius-Mixes in iTunes-Match

    Hi Folks,
    I'd really like to get rid of These Genius-Mixes in my iTunes-Match library. I've already tried to erase them on my PC via iTunes and synchronisation, but I didn't suceed.
    And unlike the other lists, you can't touch them until the X-Button appears.
    Could anybody please help me to get rid of these lists?
    Best thanks for your help and Kind regards!
    Rainer

    This is what I did and it fixed my three that didn't have working iMatch Genius:
    ( I don't know what if any fixed this )
    I turned off iMatch on only one iPhone, my 5s, I left the 4s and iPad alone.
    I turned it back on.
    Still no iMatch Genious
    I clicked on update iMatch on my 15" Macbook Pro.
    Waited
    I then made sure iMatch was "on" on all devices.
    I opened up iTunes and then Clicked on Genious just to open without clicking on any mix.
    I left the phone on, (practised the piano) and came back to it 30 mins later.
    I then had iMatch's Genious working.
    I did the same, basically to the 4s and the iPad:
    opened up iTunes and then Genious, with clicking on any mix and waited (more piano practice)
    Now I have iMatch's Genious Mix working on all of the devices that didn't work before.
    Did anything I did have anything to do with solving the issue? I have no idea.
    But my iTunes on my 15" Macbook, my new one, locks up right away but no locking up on anything else except my ofther Macbook Pro, the 17"er.

  • I deleted a few contacts from my phone. The contacts still appear when I type their names into my text messages. How do I get rid of these contacts permanently? My contacts are backed up to my iCloud.

    See above. I need to get rid of these contacts.

    Delete the Contacts from your phone.
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    Delete the iCloud Account, but keep the data on your phone.
    Go back into Settings > iCloud and set up the account again, and manually create a new backup.
    That will help your iCloud backup to be 'correct' from now on.  For the contacts appearing as you create a new text message, that will probably last for a while.
    Otherwise, you have to start completely fresh & new; no restoring from any backups.

  • I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Windows 7

    I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

  • I want the Google and Yahoo fight on my browser to go away. How do I get rid of these stupid notifications asking me to make one or the other my defaults?

    I use Google. My browser is set with Google.ca as my homepage and Google is my default search engine.
    For a while I was getting messages asking me if I wanted to know how to make Yahoo my defaults...I managed to get rid of that crap...
    But now I get bars popping up at the top of my screen asking me if I want to switch to Google...either my homepage or my default search engine...toss-up which one will come up when I open my browser.
    Even though everything is set for Google I still get these obnoxious pushed "suggestions".
    How do I get rid of these?
    Right now it's looking like using IE is the only way...

    You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

  • I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

    I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

    It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?

    Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?
    Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups)  It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
    Can this be done?

    You moved what photos from where and to where?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • I just burned photos from different albums to CD-R. When I checked on the photos I burned on the CD-R afterwards,  I noticed that the titles of each folder that these photos are extracted from appear. How can I get rid of these titles???

    iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage.  Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link:  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

  • I updated to 3.6.8 and now have web page previews in my tabs - how do i get rid of these

    When I upgraded to 3.6.8 all my tabs now are twice the size and have a thumbnail preview of the webpage in them - how do i get rid of these and go back to the normal tabs
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i upgarded to 3.6.8

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
