    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 :)
    here's my email: alexandre@boutoille.com
