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

Can the HDMI standard not be implemented in hardware somehow, and then the open source software just talks to that hardware?
It seems ridiculous that you can make a device that works fine under HDMI 2.1 but you can’t access it with open source code.

That’s the problem. Open source software doesn’t work with the NDA. Nvidia does it with an embedded processor and closed firmware, Intel does it with an embedded Displayport to HDMI converter, AMD does it in the driver. Steam uses AMD chips and open source drivers so they can’t get it to work.
