Hi,

During summer months I use xcalib to invert colours so I can work on
free software despite the sun reflecting on my laptop's display.

This was working as late as August in Europe but not only do I find
myself in thesouthern hemisphere at the moment, xcalib does not appear
to be working:

 $ xcalib -i
 Error - unsupported ramp size 0

 $ echo $?
 255


Regards,

Hi.

I have a similar issue with xcalib. I use it to apply color profile,
but it fails with the same error message:

   Error - unsupported ramp size 0

It started just after X.org was updated to 1.19.0, and most probably
was caused by changes related to "modesetting" driver, since moving
back to "intel" makes xcalib work again. (I have Intel i7-3632QM (Ivy
Bridge) CPU with integrated GPU.)

Still doesn't work with X.org 1.19.1.

Hi

I had the same issue until now, but now I forced the usage of the intel
driver in X, and that solved the issue of X reporting a gamma ramp size
of 0.

Hi

I have the same problem: system is testing/stretch, xserver 1.19, intel
graphics but with modesetting driver. I used to call xcalib <profile> in order
to correct colors in jessie (with the intel driver), but after the upgrade to
stretch this doesn't work anymore:
Error - unsupported ramp size 0

Bernd

In case it helps anyone else, adding:

  Section "Device"
     Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
     Driver      "intel"
  EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and installing xserver-xorg-video-intel
"fixes" this for me.

Hi,

I was about to do the same.

Seems like this package can have some love. If anybody can find a patch,
I'll do the (political) work to get it in.

Dear Chris and all,

A low-vision user has reported to me this issue yesterday. It is a
enormous regression appears on Stretch for a low-vision person that uses
xcalib to inverse the color of his screen.
I've added the a11y tag and raised the severity from normal to important.
I also can't use my computer without color inversion.

Best regards.

Does an upstream bug exist for this issue ?

Best regards.

Hi,

It seems upstream moved to github and a new release is available since
2014 already.

https://github.com/OpenICC/xcalib

No idea about the status of this bug in that version, but on github,
there are 0 bugs filed ever.

Found that patch at https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2017-October/054991.html  
solves the issue, at least for me.

It's a patch for X.Org, not for xcalib package. Xcalib is fine.

Patch was merged in [1]. It's not going to make into any 1.19.x releases, but most probably
will be included in 1.20.x. (I'm talking about X.Org, not xcalib). Then xcalib should work again.

[1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=ac138f9b31b0fba00742edbc3326afe66e28099a

Do you think we could backport it to Stretch? Should I move the bug from
xcalib package to X.org?

Best regards.

It definitely can be done, as the patch is very short, and there were no significant
changes around patched code for quite a long time. And yes, the first step should
be a bugreport against xserver-xorg-core package.

However, I'm in doubt. Will they update a package in a stable release?

Hello Paul,

As it should be fixed right now on xorg, could it be possible for you to
do the political work with Xorg maintainers to fix it on stable?

Best regards,
Alex.

Dear Debian X Strike Force,

Last year, bug 851810 was reported against xcalib. This program is an
accessibility tool that helps in low contrast situations to improve
readability. It turns out that the issue was in Xorg, not in the tool itself.

Please consider fixing this issue in Stretch. Don't hesitate to ask on
debian-accessibility@lists.debian.org for more in-depth justification
(for this one-line patch (yes, I know)).

Ich habe Ihnen diesen Brief vor einem Monat geschickt, bin mir aber nicht
sicher, ob Sie ihn erhalten haben, und ich habe nichts von Ihnen gehört.
Ich wiederhole es deshalb. Ich bin ein Anwalt, James Adomako, der
persönliche Anwalt meines verstorbenen Mandanten, der bei seiner Reise in
das Nachbarland bei einem Autounfall mit seiner Familie ums Leben kam. Ich
habe von seiner Bank das Mandat erhalten, die nächsten Angehörigen seines
Fonds zu versorgen (USD 13.580.000,00), also habe ich Sie kontaktiert. Nach
meinen erfolglosen Versuchen, einen seiner Verwandten zu finden, habe ich
beschlossen, Sie zu kontaktieren. Ich möchte, dass Sie mich für weitere
Informationen kontaktieren.
Grüße.
Rechtsanwalt James Adomako (Esq).
