There are ways to do color correction in Myth also.

Um, that's because the driver is tied to the kernel version. You build
a kernel module for your kernel, and if you change your kernel, you no
longer have a kernel module for your kernel. Simply recompile the
nVidia driver after installing and booting the new kernel, and presto,
it works again. Magic, eh?
