http://gkall.hobby.nl/sane-lprof/sane-lprof.html

lprof contains a nice utility called qtmonitorprofiler. You can make your own color profile. It is usable in cinepaint, picture window pro, bibble and scribus. If you have problem building it from source, there is (still) rpm's out there . Here is a nice description on monitor calibration. http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=moncal

Xcalib 

My sceen card doesn't support lut, so this is untested. The author says "Think of it as "AdobeGamma" for Linux" in this thread. http://www.mail-archive.com/lcms-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00939.html

You can grab it at http://www.etg.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de/web/doe/xcalib/

Argyll Color Management System 

Argyll is a color management system. http://www.argyllcms.com/ You can make icc profiles for scanner, printers, monitors and more.

I have never had success, in my attempts to compile it, but Graeme Gill have now published binaries for linux. Nice.

xgamma/tkgamma 

Xgamma and the frontend tkgamma give you chance to change your monitors gamma. Xgamma is a part of X11.
