Hi all,
to be HDMI compliant, extension blocks provided by E-EDID should be read
out. It seems that X doesn't do this.
I've been browsing through the code and found a commit [1] which introduced
the 'complete' parameter to xf86DoEEDID. This is being called with
complete=FALSE from xf86DoEDID_DDC2 [2]. I was wondering why and if there
is any other code path where this function is called with complete=TRUE? Or
doesn't X support reading out extensions blocks by default and can it only
be done by calling xf86DoEEDID myself?
... which the X drivers do, yes.
What bit of HDMI compliance do you think we're missing here? All
drivers that actually support the bits of HDMI beyond plain DVI have
kernel support, and Linux does parse the HDMI extension block.
