[gentoo-user] x-rite i1 display3 support

[Devrin Talen]

I'm trying to use an X-rite i1 Display 3 to calibrate my laptop screen in
gnome 3 and running into some trouble.  The color calibration settings
screen opens up as soon as I plug in the calibrator, and the first error I
see is after I've gone through all the options and clicked the start button
to actually begin calibrating.

At that point the error message is:

An internal error occurred that could not be recovered.
    You can remove the calibration device.

This error occurs immediately after clicking the button.

So I googled around and I found a few links to folks having similar issues:

[1]: https://github.com/hughsie/colord/pull/29
[2]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1297167
[3]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000910

Out of those, the third seems to be the closest to the issue I'm having.
From what I can see, the USB device is enumerated properly by the kernel:

% dmesg # snipped the relevant stuff:

And udev seems to be happy about it:

% udevadm monitor --environment --udev # plugging in the device:
monitor will print the received events for:

But the calibration isn't working.  Here's the bit of the journal showing
gnome complaining when I hit the start button:

% journalctl -xb # here's the relevant part:
Aug 30 22:36:23 luigi colord[1036]: (colord:1036): Cd-WARNING **: the child

Aug 30 22:36:23 luigi gnome-session[1374]: (gnome-control-center:1829):

Aug 30 22:36:24 luigi gnome-session[1374]: (gnome-control-center:1829):
color-cc-panel-WARNING **: failed to start calibrate: failed to calibrate

So when I saw that I started running argyll-spotread on its own to see if
that would still fail:

% argyll-spotread -v -D4
usb_check_and_add: found instrument vid 0x0765, pid 0x5020

And when that happens I see this out in dmesg (the USB IDs may not line up
since I plugged and unplugged this many times):

% dmesg
[  232.711891] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -28
[  232.711910] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -28
[  232.784675] usb 1-1.2: reset full-speed USB device number 7 using
ehci-pci

My questions are:

1. Has anyone successfully used this model of calibrator to successfully
calibrate their display with the gnome tools?

2. Am I missing some dependency or USE flag that isn't getting pulled in
for me?  Or maybe a kernel config option?

Thanks everyone in advance for any help.
