EDID override? (custom resolution/refresh)

[Espionage724]

Feature Request: hw.dri.edid_firmware (drm_edid_load.c) · Issue #320 · freebsd/drm-kmod

One of the things I missed after switching from Linux to FreeBSD was the ability to override the EDID. I used this as a way to force the system to run at the highest frame rate my monitor supports,...

github.com

Hi, this would be a nice feature to have but unfortunatelly drm_edid_load.c is gpl-2.0 licenced so we would need to rewrite it before including it into this repo.

Can EDID be overridden with any GPU?

I have an all-in-one with built-in eDP monitor, but it doesn't accept custom resolutions with xorg.conf (i915 said unsupported mode Linux dmesg, and failed to change mode FreeBSD xrandr; never seen that with HDMI). Making an EDID with CRU (exported to .bin) and loading it on Linux seeming works (presented overclocked Hz on native res on Wayland) and allows i915 to load xorg.conf snippets.

60Hz -> 78.5Hz is nice
