Usage

Usage

Command-line interface (eilin)

To print possible options run eilin without any parameters. eilin tries to determine the monitor model automatically. The detected model can be overridden using the -T (--type) switch or in the configuration file.

GUI Interface (qeilin)

qeilin creates an icon in the system tray. The application can be run only in one instance.

The mode can be changed by clicking on the icon in system tray. Double click on the icon, or right click and choosing settings opens the detailed settings window.

To quit the application, right click on the system tray icon and select quit.

Configuration

If the monitor model is not explicitly set using the -T (--type) option (applies to eilin command-line utility only), eilin tries to determine the monitor model automatically. If the model cannot be determined, or it is not supported, eilin tries to use the default monitor model from the eilin.xml config file (see below). If the default monitor is not set, nothing is done.

eilin uses xml configuration. The configuration is read from eilin.xml, ~/.eilin.xml and etc/eilin.xml in that order.

Most of it's content are "magic" numbers needed for eilin to work. These numbers are model-specific. Every monitor has it's <monitor> entry.</monitor>

To select the default monitor change the <default monitor="TYPE"> line to match the type from <monitor type="TYPE"> tag. This monitor type will be used when the model cannot be determined automaticaly and eilin was called without -T (--type) option.</monitor></default>

Possible Problems

Some of the Settings Doesn't Work

Some settings are not available in all modes. For example, in srgb mode only brightness can be changed. Please try different mode. The ''custom'' mode allows to change all of the settings.

My Monitor Is Not Supported, What Should I Do?

Please see the [New Device Support]. You may also try to use a configuration for one of the supported models. However this is potentially dangerous.
