I am using MST to output video from the Display Port output of the AGX Development Kit. I am interested in finding out the DSC settings and color format settings for this video.
While I was able to determine the color format by installing Nvidia X Server settings, I’m not sure about the DSC settings.
Can anyone provide any guidance on how to access this information?
Yes, DSC is supported on Orin and Jetson Linux has support for it too. With the current logic, the DSC is enabled by the driver when the link bandwidth required is not sufficient. Not able to forcely enabled.
I too am curious if there is a way to see if DSC is in use or not. I use a Lenovo Thunderbolt 4 dock with 4x outputs, and I have had issues getting it stable using 3x outputs on it stable even pushing some down to 30mhz.
Lenovo recommends using their Windows utility to force DSC on via a registry setting (presumably to the video driver), but it’s not an option for me using Linux. This was a “fix” for those reporting flickering when using their doc, which is exactly what will happen to me with the signal destabilizing constantly, which causes some havoc with KDE moving things around.
It would be nice in Linux to 1) verify DSC is on or not, and 2) have some control in the driver to force it on, particularly for cases like Thunderbolt docks with limited bandwidth for video function plus everything else.
