Perhaps you should just call drm_set_preferred_mode() in your referenced patch? I'm going to do that and I think it works out pretty well. Patch is at: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220510135101.v2.1.I31ec454f8d4ffce51a7708a8092f8a6f9c929092@changeid So it seems like many drivers handle the !edid case within their respective get_modes() call which probably is because they know the max capability of their connector and because they know which mode should be set as preferred. But at the same time, perhaps the code below which handles the count == 0 case should be changed like below to make sure we are within the max_width/height of the connector (to handle the first condition)? diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_probe_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_probe_helper.c index 682359512996..6eb89d90777b 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_probe_helper.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_probe_helper.c @@ -517,7 +517,8 @@ int drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes(struct drm_connector *connector, if (count == 0 && (connector->status == connector_status_connected || connector->status == connector_status_unknown)) - count = drm_add_modes_noedid(connector, 1024, 768); + count = drm_add_modes_noedid(connector, connector->dev->mode_config.max_width, + connector->dev->mode_config.max_height); count += drm_helper_probe_add_cmdline_mode(connector); if (count == 0) goto prune; Alternatively, perhaps drm_set_preferred_mode() should erase the previous preferred mode(s) if it finds a matching new preferred mode.

If we call drm_set_preferred_mode() in the referenced patch, it will not address the no EDID cases because the patch comes into picture when there was a EDID with some modes but not with 640x480. I'm not sure I understand the above paragraph. I think the "there's an EDID but no 640x480" is handled by my other patch [1]. Here we're only worried about the "no EDID" case, right? Yes, there are two fixes which have been done (OR have to be done). 1) Case when EDID read failed and count of modes was 0. Here the DRM framework was already adding 640x480@60fps. The fix we had to make was making 640x480@60fps as the preferred mode. Which is what your current patch aims at addressing. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220510135101.v2.1.I31ec454f8d4ffce51a7708a8092f8a6f9c929092@changeid/ So I thought the suggestion which Jani was giving was to call drm_set_preferred_mode() on the referenced patch which was: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220510131309.v2.2.I4ac7f55aa446699f8c200a23c10463256f6f439f@changeid/ So that would not have fixed this case. Perhaps, I misunderstood the patch which was being referenced? Ah! I couldn't quite understand what the "referenced patch" meant. I assumed that Jani was meaning that we add a call to drm_set_preferred_mode() to whatever was calling drm_add_modes_noedid(). 2) Case where there were other modes, which got filtered out and in the end no modes were left and we had to end up adding 640x480. No need to set the preferred mode in this case as this would have been the only mode in the list ( so becomes preferred by default ).

If that check will remain this is okay.
If its not, its not reliable that the first mode will be 640x480@60
