Title:
Make AMD gpus choose YCbCr420 encoding automatically when required for
4k 60Hz output
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Groovy:
Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Hirsute:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
Impact:
On some setups, while the monitor and the gpu support display modes with
pixel clocks of up to 600MHz, the link encoder might not. This prevents
YCbCr444 and RGB encoding for 4k60Hz, but YCbCr420 encoding might still be
possible. However, which color mode is used is decided before the link encoder
capabilities are checked, causing the check to fail and discarding 4k60Hz from
the list of possible display modes.
Fix:
This patch fixes the problem by retrying to find a display mode with YCbCr420
enforced and using it, if it is valid.
Testcase:
Tested on an Clevo NL50RU. General: Find a PC with a current AMD Radeon GPU,
but only a hdmi 1.4 output (e.g. current Clevo laptops with AMD APU's). Connect
a 4k@60Hz display supporting YCbCr420 encoding to the hdmi port. Without the
patch the maximum that can be set via xrandr is 3840 × 2160 30Hz. With the
Patch 3840 × 2160 60Hz can be selected which will use YCbCr420 automatically.
