Created attachment 196911 [details] Samsung un40eh5000 edid reported by xrandr --prop I have a Samsung un40eh5000 tv that I connect to my Ivy Bridge Lenovo T530 laptop via mini display-port to hdmi. I have attached the raw and decoded EDID. As of 7a0baa6234468aa387f9b8a1a79dc2a4b4821f67, it seems 12bpc gets enabled on this setup (though I can't imagine that my machine or my TV actually support that in real life). Unfortunately, this seems to change the effective refresh rate as measured between returns from opengl swapbuffers calls for example in glxgears. | glxgears fps | +----------------+ xrandr | before | after | -------+--------+-------+ 23.98 | 24.00 | 23.85 | 24.00 | 24.00 | 24.13 | 29.97 | 30.00 | 29.81 | 30.00 | 30.00 | 30.17 | 59.94 | 60.00 | 60.12 | 60.00 | 60.00 | 60.12 | This is problematic for displaying video at native frame rates. For example when the actual refresh rate of 24.00 hz could be achieved, 23.98fps video would only have to repeat a frame every 50 seconds. Now it must either drop or repeat one every 7 seconds which is much more noticeable.

so by "new bugs" you mean I should *not* re-report this there?
