I've searched through the help index and the forums to see if this question was answered, but no luck...
I noticed on log in (iMac 1.9 G5, 10.4.10) that my display kind of changed color. So I went into system preferences to see what profile it was set to. It was on a "Generic RGB profile", and whenever I tried to change it to something else, I heard the error sound. When I clicked on Calibrate, I got the error message:
"Can not calibrate the display: The factory profile for the display could not be found"...
Which sparked my memory, and I do remember possibly re-calibrating what could have been the factory profile to 2.2 gamma d65 white point (a tip from this forum  ...
Has anyone encountered this issue, possibly know of a fix?

yes, I have encountered this problem. No, I don't know of a fix other than logging out and/or restarting

I had this issue with 10.3… I used to have a copy of the calibrated profile for my, by then, Pismo that came handy once I got that message… there was an update 10.3.something that fixed the issue some time later thought…
If someone with the same Mac is kind enough to send you the factory profile… that shall solve the issue.
Anyway, have you tried to delete display related stuff inside your Preferences folder, (also Preferences --> ByHost folder) ?, what about zapping the PRAM?, that's the typical advice comes to mind…

Have you tried an archive & install? it takes a while, but can save you even more time of questioning yourself what could be wrong.
I had a weird problem with my DVD player, that wouldn't play DVDs, and nobody could tell what it was. But an archive & install fixed it.
Secondly, if you know someone with a calibration tool, he can create a new (and vastly superior) color profile for your monitor.

I just recently had this (10.4.10).
Thankfully I've had the presence of mind to backup /Library along with the user folders.
What is your display?

I'm not sure what you are aiming at. The calibration has nothing to do with the display. Any decent display (and the Mac displays are all more than decent) can be calibrated.
A calibrator is a sensor you hand in front of your screen with counterweights. Then the calibration software runs a series of color patterns, measured by the sensor. The final result is stored as a monitor profile, and now your colors on the screen will match the colors on other calbrated monitors, and on prints (if your printer is calbrated or the canned printer profiles are good).
