Yeah the bit that goes into the graphics driver is called the vcgt. More details can be found here: http://blog.pcode.nl/2012/01/29/color-management-on-linux/ > AFAIK there is not yet a standard for Linux boxes on how a monitor > profile is installed system-wide.

Well, colord / GNOME Color Manager / GNOME Settings Daemon is as much of a standard as exists these days. So you GNOME/Unity you can just go the the Color Control Panel Applet and setup your color profile there. It's super-simple. If you're not not using GNOME/Unity things are harder, one way would be to make a xdg .desktop file, like so (except for Argyll's dispwin instead of xgamma): http://blog.pcode.nl/2012/01/21/my-notebook-display-is-too-bluish/ Assuming you didn't generate the profile using GNOME Color Manager, I'm wondering where you sourced the profile. Profiles supplied by vendors tend to be not very useful (though exceptions exist).
