Hi, gentle ping ? Thx in advance.

Hi Harry,

I can reproduce on LG, Samsung and NEC monitors.

"Have you checked whether the driver picks RGB or YCBCR420 without your
patch?" -> it was selecting RGB .

For example on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gray_scale.jpg , the second band from the left, will be entirely pinkish.
Since the issue also happens without dongle, so with a direct cable from the miniDP from the graphic card to DisplayPort on the screen I think there is more serious issue with RGB output in amdgpu. But it is not easy to reproduce, you should try on above image.

In any case, the goal with the patch is just to get the same output when using 2 screens at the same time, one connected to hdmi output of the graphic card and one connected  to usb-c to graphic card (hdmi cable with dongle). So prior this patch, the first one would use YCbCr 444 and the second would use RGB.
After this patch, both will use YCbCr 444 (both are hdmi).
The patch does not change the case for miniDP to DisplayPort, the driver will still use RGB. Because maybe the RGB issue is also specific to that graphic card which
is VEGA"M". So that is why the patch only tries to match hdmi cases together, whether it is direct connection or through usb-c.

Hi Julien,

curious which monitor you're using.

I'm not sure I understand how the pinkish color issue looks. Do you see
a pinkish color at the transition from grey to another color? Or is the
entire grey area pinkish?

Thanks,
Harry
