Fwd: GPU drivers in Linux fedora23 - EDID redundant polling when TV is in standby

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi All,

I need your help to investigate an issue I have with some TV monitor, it seems like the DRM or i915 is polling the TV EDID at high frequency even if the TV is in standby.

I need your guidance to diagnose this problem, and to point me to the code part which is responsible to read the EDID when an Hot Plug is detected and polling the TV EDID (i2c request over DDC line).

Thanks in advance,


Shmuel Weiss

That's a gross exaggeretion of my role; I'm just one of many. ;)

Either we get a hotplug interrupt to check the connector, or if that
doesn't work for some reason, we poll periodically to check if there's
something connected.

If you have issues, please file a bug over at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI

On x86, each driver lists the PCI ID's of the hardware it supports, and
the kernel picks up the correct driver for the hardware.

Try 'lspci -v -s 00:02'

HTH. For future reference, please write to the
dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxg or intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxg
mailing lists. Writing individual developers does not scale.

Jani.
