Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Unspecified Linux OS: Linux Using KDE 3.3 as provided by kde-redhat.sf.net for Fedora Core 2. NVidia AGP video card using nvidia 0611 driver. kcm_kgamma does not work at all and gamma controls do not display in the Control Center for any users (including root). Unfortunately, it has worked for some. Please see the mailing list thread on the kde-redhat-users list http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9237874 kcm_kgamma worked fine for me in KDE 3.2.3, and xgamma -gamma x.x works fine, so there is not an issue with the video card or monitor not allowing gamma control. $ locate kcm_kgamma /usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kgamma.so /usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kgamma.la $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kgamma.so kdegraphics-3.3.0-1.0.2.kde
Confirmed. I can't see any kgamma in KControl for any of my 3 test boxes. The wierder part is that at least several people on the kde-redhat-users mailing list thread (reference above) *did* see kgamma in KControl.
Same here... KDE 3.3 compiled from sources, Slackware 10.0
Same problem for me. The cause of the bug is that the kgamma.desktop file contains X-KDE-Settings-Hardware with uppercase 's' though all other desktop files have settings in lowercase. Turning it to lowercase too solves the problem.
Appears to be a bug in redhat-menus. When using kde-menus, gamma correctly appears in KControl->Peripherals->Display.

So what Rex is saying in comment #4 is that redhat-menus should be able to deal with an upper case S in the kgamma.desktop file, so the bug is with redhat-menus, not kde, or kcontrol. In that case this bug should be closed.
No, please! I don't use redhat/fedora/whatever, I use self-compiled KDE. For me kgamma doesn't appear in kcontrol, since its desktop file contains uppercase 'S' instead of a lowercase one. Hence mainstream KDE is buggy.
For me, I found that the original X-KDE-Settings-Hardware category worked just fine, though changing it to X-KDE-settings-Hardware worked too. (??) Egmond, as far as I'm concerned, I see no kde bug here. Feel free to submit another bug report with your own findings if you wish.
kgamma seems to have gone missing from the menus (again) in kdegraphics-3.4.2 It appears /usr/share/applications/kde/kgamma.desktop is missing a Categories entry, so it doesn't appear anywhere in menus. Adding/appending Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-settings-hardware; makes it show up again under KControl->Peripherals->Display as expected. p.s. Assigned to kcontrol since I couldn't find a kdegraphics and/or kgamma Product/component.
SVN commit 459141 by thiago: Re-adding the missing line. It got removed in commit 355823 (probably one broken script being run without enough attention).

Yes it was not the intention, I recall even posting the script to core-devel first, I thought all of the desktop files that were broke had been fixed, but I guess one had slipped through. -Benjamin Meyer > CCMAIL:ben@meyerhome.net > CCBUG:87614 > > > M +1 -0 kgamma.desktop > > > --- trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/kgamma/kcmkgamma/kgamma.desktop #459140:459141 > @@ -104,3 +104,4 @@ > X-KDE-Test-Module=true > NoDisplay=true > Encoding=UTF-8 > +Categories=Qt;KDE;Settings;X-KDE-settings-peripherals;
