    how do i do that?

    Probably by editing your GRUB config or whatever bootloader you’re using.

    Here is the EDID

    Thanks, that should be enough I’ll have a look when I’m free. Also something like get-edid > monitor.bin would probably be easier for me though.

    Edit: I’ve had a look, I can’t see any issues. Both checksums validate correctly and it advertises audio support. As you’ve probably seen in edid-decode, I’d expect it to show as ‘SONY TV’ (or at least for KDE ‘Sony SONY TV’ I believe).











  • Idk, with I2C if it’s not something that needs a kernel level driver, there usually isn’t a problem with interacting with it from user space, for example basically all RAM RGB controllers are I2C and OpenRGB has no problem with them. I’m pretty sure I’ve only ever used an I2C device tree overlay for an RTC.

    Also I2C/SMBus is present everywhere on x86, like some graphics cards expose it through their HDMI ports, even some server motherboards have a header for it; but for GPIO I’m unaware of any motherboards that expose it, so good luck researching the chipset and tracing out the pins.







  • Firstly, there actually isn’t much difference between server grade and gaming motherboards, like sure one might support ECC + IPMI and the other RGB + overclocking, but as far as compute goes, they are both effective motherboards.

    Secondly, I don’t think OP was going for a ‘server’ but more of just a workstation type build, so why one or the other?

    Thirdly, why does it even matter? OP should be proud of their system whether you like it or not. Even if they are using it as a server, my first server was just some reasonably priced consumer grade parts and I never had any sort of stability issues with it.
