ATI Catalyst drivers and monitor profile being deactivated

2008-08-22 by tad_awa

I would like to suggest the addition of "Calibration On/Calibration 
Off" controls to the Spyder3Utility. Currently there is some 
problems with ATI Drivers (from at least Version 8.2 to current) in 
that upon closing the CCC (Catalyst Control Center)the monitor 
profile is "lost" and by opening Spyder3Elite 3.0.4 and clicking 
Actions>Calibration Off, followed by clicking Actions>Calibration On 
it reloads the monitor profile. This is repeatable and happens with 
Crossfire(X) on or off.

 I have done just a quick search to see if others are having issues 
with the ATI drivers in an attempt to locate a workaround. It 
appears that what ever the ATI drivers are doing the Spyder3Utility 
is unable to tell if the default profile (selected in Color 
Management, within the display properties) is indeed activated.

 Any information or advice you can provide would be greatly 
appreciated. Likewise, if you need more information from me, I would 
be happy to assist.

Thank you for your time in this matter and best regards,
