Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

AMD is part of the forum but can’t get them to accept their own open source driver. I guess we can’t shame all of them in one.
Sad.

How hilarious would it be if the AMD board member was the one who veto’d the driver 😅

AMD has had the code ready to include in their open source driver for a while and has been trying to get HDMI Forum to let them release it for a long time www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected

Wild to see DisplayLink among the companies here.

I was confused by seeing DisplayLink there, but couldn’t fully place them, and Wikipedia made me think they may be using HDMI and have an interest in keeping it inaccessible to sell their products and services.

Knowbe your enemy, they say.But jokes aside, I believe DisplayLink’s focus is primarily on the client<->docking station part, with docking station<->monitor usually still being HDMI/DP (same with direct client<->monitor links). So they still have to interface with it some way or another.

Then AMD needs to apply more leverage or start an awareness campaign with as much shit PR for every business supporting them.
