Changing the display name and hardware id of the monitor

Bobini1 opened this issue · 4 comments

The monitor is called "Generic Display (Linux FHD)" and the hwid is "LNX0000". Is it possible to change this?

I think "Linux FHD" comes from the EDID data,

const BYTE IndirectDeviceContext::s_KnownMonitorEdid[] =

thus changeable if you re-build it (I currently don't have time to do this).
I'm not sure for other things ("Generic Display" and "LNX0000").

I think Windows refuses to recognize the EDID even if I change only one letter. : (
There must be some registry of known EDIDs, I suppose.

Ah, nevermind, I forgot about the checksum byte!

I think I have used this (free) software to edit EDID data.
