In our compliance equipment the modes are coming from DTD and from the video datablock but the kernel is preferring the DTD modes so we found a way of determining the picture aspect ratio from the DTD section. We do not populate the field with ASPECT_RATIO_NONE/DEFAULT, we populate it given the ratio of width_mm and height_mm that is sent in the DTD (of course if these values are zero we set aspect ratio to none).

Do you mean Xserver, the X driver that I am using (which is modesetting), the xrandr or all of them? I guess that if they don't touch the flags field and return the mode exactly the same as it was probed to DRM then it will work as expected.

I've some comments to you (Shashank): > > First, you add an if condition in > drm_mode_equal_no_clocks_no_stereo() (patch 2) which unconditionally compares the aspect ratio. But I think that you have to take into account that some modes handed by the user to the DRM layer do not initialize this field so I think the best solution would be to compare the aspect ratios only when the field is populated (i.e. picture_aspect_ratio != HDMI_PICTURE_ASPECT_NONE). > > Second, you are expecting that the picture aspect field is correctly set in the HDMI parsing but, at least in the test equipment that I am using, this field is not set by the DRM layer because the mode is coming in the detailed timings section which does not include a picture aspect field.
