You talk about the graphics card gamma tables, while I talk about 3 
dimensional tables. Usually the a 3*3*17 sized for monitors and 
additional one dimensional curves. 
A 3*3*17 cube needs some interpolation routine to get the final 
output from an argitrary input. A nearest match would not suffice.

The graphics card gamma tables are one dimensional, containing usual 3*256 
values.
