Unreliable Monitor Detection #526

Closed JandCandO closed 11 months ago

I'm getting these error messages on my 2 monitors even though they work sometimes. It's like it's a roll of the dice every time I boot. Sometimes, they both work just fine and other times either one or both fail to work. I don't know if it's a matter of how quickly the monitors can start up themselves or what, but since it does work perfectly sometimes I don't think it's my setup.

System Specs: Ryzen 9 5800X Nvidia 3070 Ti Cables are not adapters they are both DP to DP

Could you read Contributing Guidelines and post probe.log? How to produce these logs is explained in Reporting in readme. The monitor detection depends on how your monitors respond to the inquiries. Your monitors sometimes repond but sometimes don't. All up to your monitors.

Here's the probe.log: probe.log

In that hidden menu I did hit probe into monitors and rescan monitors and saw a subtle brightness change but they are still listed as uncontrollable in the menu.

Thank you for the log. Your monitors didn't respond to the inquiries of capabilities but they responded set and/or get command. So you can use preclear option. https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian/issues/270#issuecomment-998347584
