How to change monitor settings of Samsung SyncMaster 193P in Ubuntu Linux.

Samsung offers software for Windows but not Linux. This monitor has no buttons to control the settings (how stupid is that) and needs to be controlled via I2C lines of the monitor cable (VGA). Might also work for Samsung 173.

# install the software for linux sudo bash apt-get install ddccontrol # insert the kernel module modprobe i2c-dev # check the configuration ddccontrol -p # auto adjust: ddccontrol -p -r 0x1e -w 1 # change brightness, maximum is 100 ddccontrol -p -r 0x10 -w 40 # change contrast ddccontrol -p -r 0x12 -w 50
