Support for MSI MAG271CQR

[cosmicdan]

Howdy,

Love the monitor - dislike the OSD. Would love to see support for this thing.

The id of your monitor, e.g. MAG321CURV

MAG271CQR

The output of msigd --debug --info --query

# ./msigd --debug --info --query
DEBUG: Initializing HID lib
Unexpected id combination <006><V19>
Detected an unknown monitor. Please report the output of
'msigd --info --debug --query' as an issue and also provide
the ID (MAG...) of your monitor. Thank you!

any other information which might be helpful, e.g. OSD setting xyz is not supported.

Seems to support everything listed.

Photo of service menu (ugh, EXIF rotation - apologies, aligns correctly if opening fullscreen in Firefox at least):

Am happy to tinker around in the source if it takes a lot of back-and fourth to add support for a new monitor.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for supporting the project!

There were a number of timeout errors in the log starting with night_vision which is not supported on your monitor.

Can you please run the following commands and post the output here? These settings should be supported. By running them one by one we make sure that an error doesn't produce further errors.

./msigd --debug -f pro_mode 
./msigd --debug -f eye_saver
./msigd --debug -f image_enhancement
./msigd --debug -f brightness
./msigd --debug -f contrast
./msigd --debug -f sharpness

[cosmicdan]

Ah right, makes sense.

For some reason now I'm just getting an error no matter the command. I restarted machine, rebuilt... haven't changed a thing since :\

# ./msigd --debug --info --query
DEBUG: Initializing HID lib
DEBUG: Error 0 reading from HID device
msigd: Error on device identification
Try 'msigd --help' for more information.

Factory Reset maybe?

[couriersud]

Try plugging out the power cable of the monitor, wait 5 sec and plug it in again.

Hi Daniel,

I now have added preliminary support for the MAG271 series. Can you please check actual git if this working better for you?

[cosmicdan]

Thanks so much - everything seems to be working (that I checked so far). That same debug output looks all good to me :)

Dunno what that 'color_rgb' value is about, though... that normal?

[couriersud]

The debug output dumps raw values. Use ./msigd --query for meaningful values. I'll reopen for now so that will be reminded to use a hex dump for such cases.

[cosmicdan]

Ah right, that makes sense. Not an important option but wanted to make sure.

Set up some good shortcuts to switch inputs, noticed there's no option to switch pip/pbp on this monitor. Not possible or just not had access to a device to support it? I'm wondering if I could dump memory before/after or something like that as it might just be a different offset or something? (I don't know how HID works really).

i think it's not directly mapped to some memory and controlled by chip

[couriersud]

Fixed the missing pip/pbp option in https://github.com/couriersud/msigd/commit/db6f78d84e96dd2b7f3d1547cd2538ac43b8175c --pip values: off pip pbp
