I have a Macbook Pro running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It works fine with all the required packages. The only thing I see which is weird is colors are way too light. I think this is contrast ratio which I need to set. How can I adjust contrast ratio on Ubuntu?

sudo lshw -c video gives following output.

That doesn't make any sense given laptop monitors normally don't come with contrast ratio settings. You need to install xcalib if you want to manually change your gamma/contrast ratio/backlight.
