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

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.

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

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.
