    Hi everybody!

    I have a R61 thinkpad (7738-1GG) with the x3100 graphics. I have recently received a 22" Fujitsu TFT monitor and i was quite happy about it :)

    Until i plugged it in the external VGA: Red is over the top at 1680 x 1050 resolution. All other colors are ok but not the red which is overly tiring.

    I have tried everything but i cannot find a color saturation tool in the intel graphics driver. If i could bring red down would be perfect. (my monitor does have some color control but no saturation control).

    Has anyone has had this problem and solved it?

    Thank you very much!
    George

    sorry to bump this, but this red is making me crazy and i am completely unproductive :( .

    this cannot be that the x3100 doesn't have a color saturation tool.

    If you mean the color correction tool you can find by right clicking desktop, clicking graphics properties, and clicking color correction, than it will allow you to change the colors. Nothing related to saturation however, just gamma, contrast, and brightness.
