    That doesn't solve the problem completely, it's more of a Band-Aid as it does not bring DDC support. Software dimming on LCD panels is nowhere as great as native dimming.

    It's been over 7.74 years since we've been begging for DDC/CI support with DisplayLink on *nix!

    As we wait for a day which may not come, I took action and built my own fix.

    It's called HardwareDDC and lets you use a spare HDMI port for DDC/CI VCP codes as another port is used for video from your DisplayLink dock.

    I've been working on making it open-source: https://github.com/TeaRex-coder/hardwareddc

    and have been sharing about it on Twitter/X for a while: https://twitter.alexandreboutoille.com

    I also shared about it on Reddit to gain another perspective on the project: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1dxoh3b/ddc_fix_on_samsung_g9

    Now although it's not a perfect fix, it's better than nothing, right now I'm waiting on receiving the first PCB revision

    If you're interested in it, feel free to contact me :)
