Edid Override not working

  • As per Oe i followed this wiki guide Configuring a Custom xorg.conf - OpenELEC

    but i can't get it to work with Libreelec (i don't have dts hd - dolby true hd option if avr is switched off)

    i checked in .config/firmware/edid/edid.bin and edif files is present

    - i checked in /extlinux.conf and string is present

    how can i check if edid is correctly loaded at startup ?

  • Check with

    Code
    LibreELEC-ultra:~ # grep -i edid /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    [2982095.786] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/storage/.config/edid.bin.ultra2.TX-SR508_1920x1080"

    Sorry finally i got file appended correctly (seems a ssh problem)

    How did you solve this problem you say? I got the same problem. Followed the guide, after reboot with TV off I get only black. With the TV on, and then checking the logs I see nothing about edid.
    /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows me QCJF
    even though my syslinux.cfg still is edited.

    EDIT: Can it be that I need to edit this file instead? /flash/EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg

    EDIT2: It was..

  • I followed this guide to create custom EDID.

    If I check the boot I get this:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # grep -i edid /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    [2332972.829] Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 rdinit=/init usbcore.autosuspend=-1 BOOT_IMAGE=/KERNEL boot=LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage  quiet initrd=/edid.cpio drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D
    LibreELEC:~ #

    I still get blank screen on resume from standby before the TV is switched on :( Any ideas?

    Setup:
    Libreelec 8 on 120 GB SSD
    Intel Kaby Lake i3-7100, onboard GFx
    Motherboard MSI B250M MORTAR Intel B25
    8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4

    honestly I have a Doctor HDMI hardware EDID emulator too and it works great... but why to use it if SW Emulation could be done. It is somehow ridicolous that I have to link up a 80 € EDID emulator and an 40 € CEC-adapter between HTPC and AVR/TV to get basic functions working... with all the cable mess it means.
