BTW, DP daisy chaining the same motherboard I get the following: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 4480 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192 DP-1 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1-8 connected 2560x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 673mm x 284mm 2560x1080 60.00*+ 1920x1080 60.00 60.00 50.00 59.94 24.00 23.98 1680x1050 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1280x800 59.81 1152x864 75.00 1280x720 60.00 50.00 59.94 ...

That logic looks backwards to me.

I don't understand how the update could solve this. But well... maybe that Paulo mention to EDID and if the information is there. But with so many different adapters out there from many different vendors I don't think it is worth trying to guess an universal way. > > > Honestly I don't know if there's a way to detect the presence of adapters > > like this DP to VGA for instance.

Logical because the port is internal to a multi-function DP device (it contains both a branch and a sink). DP spec says logical port numbers start from 8. _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Keep in mind that due to adapters, the actual cable connected to a certain port may change over time, and our Kernel connector names are fixed. The most user friendly thing apps can do is to read monitor information (from EDID) and display that to the user. For example, I see my desktop environment says I have "Acer Technologies 27"" and "Laptop" (and it even displays which one is which). I don't even need to care if the monitor is connected through HDMI or DP: all I have to know is what I can see (the monitor itself). > > -- > > "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
