Interesting. I think that even if your monitor does not support DDC/CI from inactive inputs, the app could still work for you if you configure just the on_usb_disconnect
settings on both computers. on_usb_connect
cannot be used because you're trying to control from the inactive input, but "on disconnect" should work, correct?
You're right, using on_usb_disconnect
works.
My display doesn't accept DDC/CI requests from inactive inputs:
This means that display-switch can change to a different input, but it can't change back.
I found a reference suggesting that this could be a common limitation.
I wrote a script that instead uses DPMS to control display standby. If a system on one input enables standby, and another disables it, the display switches to the only active input.
display-switch could implement this DPMS approach to support monitors that limit DDC/CI to active inputs.
