Bug ID: 496346
Summary: Wrong color depth by default, unable to modify it.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: colour-management
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hi,
By default on Plasma my screen is stuck with 8bit per channel (24 bit color
depth). From what i have searched on the internet, 10 bit per channel should be
the default
(https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/f2b29e3555955a3f3e72f3098454833b71cde06b)
but it isn't on my hardware (KTC M27T20S).
On Windows and Hyprland (linux DE) everything works fine, 10bit is supported.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just launching a 10bit color video's, test video's
2. Using "drm_info" command
OBSERVED RESULT
Clearly visible gradient patterns (bars) on this test videos
(https://www.avsforum.com/threads/10-bit-gradient-test-patterns.2269338/) and
on Movies with a lot of dark scenes.
drm_info indicates (on Plasma) : Format: XRGB8888 (0x34325258)

EXPECTED RESULT
- no bars on the test videos.
- drm_info (from Hyprland): Format: XRGB2101010 (0x30335258)
