Originally posted by Chewi View PostAs someone who's just bought their first FreeSync screen, I was really surprised and saddened when I discovered this the other day. It's a ridiculous situation. My RX 480 has 4 DP outputs and just 1 HDMI and I gather I can at least use a passive adapter to make this work but I haven't tried it yet.

It would be cool if the whole thing ended up with DP 1.4b and 2.0a supporting CEC, ARC, eARC and whatnot. A couple of years and we'd finally have new devices with DP.

Going over or removing? Either way that's some water, a scraper, a stud finder, a drill, and up to a few hours. Sans the mount, we're talking $50 worth of crap at Lowes that you can return when you're done using...unless you step it up and rent a wallpaper steamer. Personally, long-term, I'm leery about mold and whatnot when using steamers on walls. You just don't know if steam will seep into some micro-crack and soak your insulation.
I'm gonna be painting the entire inside of my house sometime this year and that few days is gonna suck. The work itself is easy and I enjoy painting, it's moving all the damn furniture back and forth that I dread doing. Some of it's really heavy. Is that your biggest problem too? The moving of the things to do the work and not the work itself.
Don't remember where I saw them, but I've come across AMD FreeSync HDMI 2.0 posts before too...but it was always about Windows and never Linux. Hopefully you'll get lucky with an adapter.

HDMI can't be reversed engineered ? It's not legal?
This article is about the spec documentation, the HDMI spec (not the code or the blobs, just the full long spec-sheet) was always detailed, but they took it down and you need to contact the HDMI guys with valid proper reasons and the might send it to you by mail. This means any developer trying to do anything with HDMI doesn't have proper access, while companies that pay the license get the documentation included.
I understand why devices like the raspberry pi use HDMI, so more people can adopt them, but honestly they should just go DP and have users buy an adapter cable if needed...
