I am really out of ideas.. Cru, manually editing registry, blocking registry permissions, custom monitor inf.. Nothing and everything..
To solve freesync monitor with gsync blackouts I must edit monitor min vertical range to at least 40Hz on each of my 3 monitors, like a lot of folks out there. It works perfectly. I can then enable surround and have gsync surround working perfectly until I reboot Windows.
The stupid m**** f**** nvidia driver insists on reseting/ignoring my settings, using monitors original edid and blackouts arrives when gsync starts working.
God dammit, I'm this close to see if the monitor edid is on a separate i2c eeprom and reprogram it, far to away shot, last resort really.. I am really avoiding having to open them. AFAIK displayport edid is not read by typical i2c like hdmi, it uses i2c-over-aux to achieve this, so no quick and dirty arduino displayport EDID emulator with custom EDID.
Does any good soul know how to make surround edid override stick when you reboot system?
I did not mention which monitors I am talking about -> BenQ ex3203r. Seams to be a very popular monitor. I have 3 for triple monitor setup but on reality this affects and would fix ANY monitor that needs EDID edited by eg. CRU and is used with surround.
This is frustrating. When a so simple solution becomes so complicated because of "politics".
I am now looking into external "middle man" solution to basically spoof the EDID. I wish it was HDMI we were talking about here...
...The stupid thing is that it works perfectly, I mean perfectly, after you setup surround until you reboot Windows or shutdown if you have fast startup disabled.
If you leave fast startup enabled it works fine but unfortunately on my case I need windows fast startup disabled (for wake on lan reasons). Of course when windows updates comes in here we go again lol . Have to disable surround and setup it up again.
Anyone? Please? Any idea? There is no such thing as stupid ideas...
I have tried Linux i2c-tools but unfortunately this monitor seam to be write protected. It seams to write successfully, no error message, but contents do not change. I did try programming it with service menu opened and the other BenQ hidden menu without any luck.. probably I just missed the correct sequence like contrast set to zero, something that disables write protection. (Any one knows the secret?)
Anyhow, sorry for the long post. I've been posting this on other places but honestly here should have been the first place.
Thank you
