HDMI Forum snubs AMD's open-source plea Wants to keep specs members only AMD has hit a brick wall in its bid to boost its open-source Linux graphics driver. The US company has been trying to get permission from the HDMI Forum, which controls the HDMI standard, to add HDMI 2.1+ features to its driver. HDMI 2.1+ allows for super-fast and high-quality video and audio over a single cable. According to Phoronix the HDMI Forum has said no to AMD, leaving Linux users in the lurch. AMD has been struggling to fix a bug that stops Linux users from enjoying 4K@120Hz or 5K@240Hz via HDMI 2.1 for three years. The problem is that the HDMI Forum has made its specs private, meaning only members can access them. AMD and the X.Org Foundation, a group that supports open-source graphics, have been begging the HDMI Forum to let them use the specs for their open-source driver. AMD's Linux engineers have worked hard to develop a solution that meets the HDMI Forum's demands. https://fudzilla.com/news/graphics/5...en-source-plea |
