I'm not familiar with DP++, but I think it's all handled by > the DP bridge, and does not need any new properties to the dp-connector. You might need an i2c bus for this. It's up to the source device to either hook up just AUX CH, or both AUX CH and DDC to a DP++ connector. If just AUX CH is wired up you are limited to using only type2 DP dual mode adapters, whereas if you also have DDC the crappier type1 adapters will also work. I guess it's possible some bridges might handle all that for you. But eg. on i915 we always set up both AUX CH and DDC, and some extra circuitry on the board will isolate one or the other depending on what kind of dongle/cable gets plugged in (identified via the CONFIG pins). -- Ville Syrjälä Intel _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
