            Bug ID: 104509
           Summary: Unable to set "Content Type" bit for HDMI and
                    DisplayPort
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW

          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
          Assignee: nouveau-PD4FTy7X32lNgt0PjOBp9y5qC8QIuHrW@public.gmane.org

Hi,

apparently the Intel HD Graphics driver for Windows has a "IT Content" option
that can be either enabled or disabled, see following screenshot for example:

According to a post on the AVS Forum, enabling "IT Content" does the following:

> HDMI specs "IT Content" flag is set On in video stream.

> CEA-861:
> "In IT applications (e.g. involving bit mapped text),
> each pixel in the source’s frame buffer is most clearly
> displayed if it is directly mapped to a light-emitting pixel
> on the display device - such that adjacent pixels are
> completely independent and do not interact.
> The IT content bit indicates when picture content is

> regard to Nyquist criterion) and is unsuitable for
> analog reconstruction or filtering. When the IT content bit
> is set to 1, downstream processors should pass
> pixel data unfiltered and without analog reconstruction."

Apparently there is no option for it on the nouveau Linux driver.

Can you please add an option to the nouveau Linux driver which allows to enable
the "IT Content" bit?

Regards
