And i guess the > firmware from January 2021 doesn't support it? If I remember well, this was added some time in the middle of last year, so it wouldn't surprise me that your firmware doesn't support it. It's not really harmful, but it might still be a good idea to upgrade your firmware. The display pipeline has an unflushable FIFO between devices and if we don't take special care when disabling all the devices in that pipeline, we end up with a shift of one pixel for the rest of the system's life. We have some code to deal with the transition between the firmware and the kernel, but we couldn't make it work reliably so we ended up asking the firmware instead. So.. Yeah, it's bad if you want to use the displays output, but it not critical either. Maxime
