Try it with different monitors you have. The current nVidia Linux drivers only has BGR output for 10bpp, which works on TVs and OLEDs but not most LCDs monitors. My monitors (InnoCN 27M2V and Cooler Master GP27U) require RGB input, which me

I'm on Wayland and the cable is HDMI 2.1 ultra high speed, which means 8k. Xorg is already gone on Ubuntu 25.10. The GPU and monitor combination has full 10-bit HDR in Windows. But in Linux it's stuck at 8bpp due to nVidia driver

No luck for me with HDMI 2.1 - still seeing XRGB8888 on my monitors after HDR enabled. That's still pretty crappy. Monitors do not say whether they support BGR input signals or not as opposed to RGB.

Ok. I've been using DisplayPort 1.4a with my 4090 at the moment. Maybe I'll try HDMI 2.1 and see what happens. I'm actually surprised that YouTube HDR works on your side - perhaps it's tied to the ABGR2101010 output mode

I don't have a Dell U2725QE, but on InnoCN 27M2V and Cooler Master GP27U there's no ABGR2101010 support. These monitors would only work with ARGB2101010 or XRGB2101010 which nVidia drivers do not provide. Here's what I'm

Under the Planes section, look for planes that have non-zero "CRTC_ID". Those are the planes that actually get output to your monitor. Here's what I'm getting on an RTX 4090 / InnoCN 27M2V and Cooler Master Tempest

They're also selling $3000 nVidia AI workstations that exclusively uses Linux. But what if you want to watch an HDR video on it? No. What if you want to use Google Meet on Chrome/Wayland? It's broken.

You can enable, yes. But (assuming you're on an LCD display and not an OLED), you're likely still on XRGB8888 - i.e. 8-bit per channel. Check `drm_info`. Also, go to YouTube and play this video: https://www.youtube.com&

HDR still doesn't really work on Linux w/ nVidia GPUs. 1. 10bpp color depth is not supported on RGB monitors, which are the majority of LCD displays on the market. Concretely, ARGB2101010 and XRGB2101010 modes are not supported by

Enslavement only matters if your level of productivity is still on roughly the same order of magnitude (as in, up to minus a few) of your masters. e.g. you are a cow, a jug of your cow milk is still worth a few dollars in human markets. Tha

It's been a "premium" feature on gaming PC motherboards - i.e. you need to pay extra for it and it's pretty rare. Laptops have it because Intel's SOCs (e.g. Tiger Lake) have it built-in. But on a PC motherboard they

The title is misleading. HiSilicon is responsible for the SoC, but the backdoor is part of the Linux-based device firmware made by another company called Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology Co. There is no clear connection between Huawei and Xiong

The original extradition law weakened the strength of the Common Law system of Hong Kong - which, for many Hong Kongers, had concerns on both their ability to continue to do business with international entities; and the rule of law itself.

It doesn't make sense to prosecute every violation with maximum penalties allowable under the law. It's just not how the legal system works. e.g. Google was alleged to have illegally issued options to their employees back in 2004
