So are these EDIDs only valid for VGA outputs and another set needs to
be added for HDMI monitors?
Having drm.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin works on an HDMI connector
prior to this patch, so presumably drm_edid_loader needs to
automatically switch between the existing (analog) and new (digital)
EDIDs based on the connector type? Or are you requiring users to
change the strings they use?
Cheers.
