Two open source projects now provide color management capability for X:
Argyll (http://www.argyllcms.com/)
A set of command-line tools for calibrating displays, printers, and scanners, and
for setting the CLUT for displays, as well as client-side libraries for color space
conversion.
LittleCMS (http://www.littlecms.com/)
A very compact color management library designed for use by applications. It
supports color management for displays, printers, and scanners using color profile
files, but it does not include tools for generating those profiles.
LittleCMS is used by many open source applications (including CinePaint [Hollywood??™s
version of the Gimp], the Gimp version 2.3 and higher, Scribus, XSane, and
digiKam), and it is becoming the de facto standard for client-side color management.
In most applications that use LittleCMS, color management will be
disabled by default. You will need to enable color management in each
application and select the correct profiles for your devices.

Profiles for LittleCMS may be supplied by the manufacturer, loaded from a tool used
in another operating system, or created with Lprof (http://lprof.sourceforge.
