[Fabien S. <fab...@ep...>]

Hello,

I tried this software, that's really great !

My monitor is not yet supported, here are the informations :

$ ddccontrol -p -c -d

So, I tried to do the same as the other Samsung, and I created a file 
SAM0168.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!---The Samsung 710TM is identical to 173P -->
<monitor include="SAM00D3" name="Samsung SyncMaster 710TM"/>


Now, it works perfectly (brightness, contrast, color level)
