Can you adjust the limit to 3840? (I need it for HiDPI)

Because 2288 is not high enough for me :-)

Cheers :-)

Nope not in this block...

That value is translated into FF FF or max...

Detailed descriptors only can go bigger...

That's for tomorrow...

Ramalama · May 3, 2014

but FFFF is 65535 or not?

That means that my default resolution (vanilla edid) 2560x1440 is in detailed description?

Cheers :-)

Nope...

First byte contains horizontal resolution

(1B + 31) * 8

Max = 2288 ((0xFF + 31) * 8)

Lower 6 bits of byte 2 = refresh rate + 60 (60-123)

Upper 2 bits of byte 2 = aspect ratio

Ramalama · May 3, 2014

I got it!

Thank you!

Just checked, you have right, i have no standart timings in my EDID at all :-)

Andy Vandijck · May 4, 2014

I've done some more work on it...

I'm basing my sources on edie-decode mostly, but this was incomplete (so I've enhanced the current edid-decode sources).

I had to add decoding for 4 detailed descriptors.

Tomorrow I'll mod my app for these...

The work on edid-decode so far is finished...

I added color management, color point, established timings III, extra standard timings and decoding of color data...

EDIT: Synced my changes with latest version...

Will you share the source code?

Edit:

I take it back. I saw the code, after I've downloaded your file. Nice job by the way.

GingerHewig · May 5, 2014

Cool tool.

I study the code, it removed sign related command and data from mach-o.

I'm wondering why the binary can't be signed with another certification now?

Look forward for your update.

I'm still checking why.

It just doesn't want to resign afterwards.

Probably needs to be realigned and sizes adjusted.

I found some time today to start coding the 12 detailed views.

So far I implemented the list with detailed descriptors, these get identified upon a click of the detailed descriptor in question.

Clicking in that list on another type of descriptor will initialise it as an empty descriptor of that type.

This already works.

I also started coding the view for the established timings III.

So far it has views for dummy block and established timings III.

More work to follow...

Andy Vandijck · May 7, 2014

I finished the code for established timings III.

Alpha 6!

It can already do everything mentioned previously and set established timings III.

Tomorrow works continues when I have the time (CVT is next)...

Screenshots attached too and alpha 6 too...

For those thinking the implementation was easy: look at the code... 44 checkboxes linked through for the desired result...

The detailed descriptors are till byte 125 from byte 54...

EDIT: Removed alpha 6 due to alpha 7 below...

Hi Andy

Output not needed, checked and verified.

The original author made a mistake:

    edid = extract_edid(fd);
    if (!edid) {
	fprintf(stderr, "edid extract failed\n");
	return 1;
    }
    if (fd != 0)
	close(fd);

    if (ofd != -1) {
    // <-- This causes the bytes issue
	//write(ofd, edid, edid_lines * 16);
	close(ofd);
    }

    dump_breakdown(edid);

Note my new change... no write in ofd of edid... this duplicates the EDID before decode (not needed...)

I fixed this issue and attached the new version here.

Fixed

I'm currently coding the CVT 3B descriptors (4 of them in the descriptor).

So far reading works...

Gonna write setting them now...

Andy Vandijck · May 9, 2014

CVT 3B descriptors can now be set...

You do it like this:

Enter vertical resolution, select refresh rates, select preferred refresh rate, select aspect ratio and click set.

You can set up to 4 resolutions in 1 CVT block...

Example shown in screenshot...

Alpha 7 is ready... the rest I can do tomorrow or sunday... (when I have the time)

It wasn't easy implementing this but it is done now

Andy? Do you know, how i can calculate Pixel Clock?

I Changed Active Horzontal to 3840 (from 2560) and vertical to 2160 (from 1440)...

But it seems that i need todo more, because i get stripes and pixel bugs... :-)

But with the new "Buggy" EDID, i get Retina-Display, with all the nice Switches :-)

Attached :-)

It has something to do with the number of lines and stuff.

Look for EEDIDrAr2.pdf on Google.

This contains all the needed info.

:smoke: ...and still, 10.9.3

Andy Vandijck · May 24, 2014

Ok did some research.

Detailed timing descriptor can be made using the resolution and refresh rate.

I know about how it works for GTF.

I will create this in the app first (is in high demand).

Keep you posted

Hey ii get this just before my login screen at every startup https://www.dropbox.com/s/hk2jshlka7ha46c/Photo%2004-06-2014%2018%2045%2042.jpg

What can i do to fix jt?

passmaster16 · June 18, 2014

Hi, I'm using FixEDID to inject a modified Macbook Air profile for my laptop's display. Everything works fine until I inject the PNLF patch either by DSDT or Clover. For some reason after injecting the PNLF patch, the EDID which was previously set by DisplayMergeNub.kext is reset back to the original LVDS EDID. Any idea why this would happen? I'm trying to implement brightness control on my Sony Vaio laptop which does work with the PNLF patch but I also need the EDID override from DisplayMergeNub.kext to resolve the broken encoding/output caused by my LVDS' EDID. More discussion is here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298807-amd-radeon-hd-6650m-the-last-piece-of-the-puzzle-edid-injection-with-clover-or-dsdt-the-mistery-of-the-wrong-lvds-senseid/page-2

Thanks in advance!

Seems to be working on OSX Yosemite DP2. Thanks

clover has an option to inject EDID. use the one generated with Displaymerge. see if that helps.
