One issue with this is that the effective bpc of the link (as observed by the user) can be higher than the physical bpc, due to things like DSC or various dithering techniques. So requiring a minimum physical bpc could artificially exclude configurations which would otherwise work fine. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ GNOME / Xwayland / Mesa developer https://redhat.com \ Libre software enthusiast
