Summary

Parse EDID on the backend side so that backends that don't have access
to raw EDID blob can still populate the Edid object with data they have
available.

This allows clients (KScreen KCM, mostly) to not rely on the output name
constructed by KWin, but can assemble the string on its own.

Test Plan

kscreen-console on Wayland now shows partially populated EDID info.

One minor thing to fix, otherwise the idea + approach look fine to me. Thanks!

The idea to parse on the backend side is sound. Can you paste the output you get in a Wayland session? For me it shows the XWayland EDID of the outputs.

backends/kwayland/waylandbackend.cpp

Let the backend populate the Private here is unusual, or is it not? On the other side it makes sense. Let the consumer only access the public interface and the backend access the private one. I don't know what's the commonly used approach to that in Qt dev. Out of interest you can say? In any case we can leave it like that for now.

A WaylandOutput::edid() function should be put in the WaylandOutput class.

I found this to be the simplest solution to avoid exposing some setters/factory functions into Edid'public interface. It's all internal code, so no risk of API/ABI breakages...

  • Move Edid construction to WaylandOutput::edid

Here's kscreen-console output for one of my monitors under Wayland with this patch applied:

Thanks, so I'm talking about this line:

[15:31:16.521] kscreen-console(422251:422251) unknown: 	Device ID:  "xrandr-Eizo Nanao Corporation-DP-7-EV2736W/96211045"

There it says xrandr, which should likely be not there.

Agreed. deviceId is not actually used (it's stored in KDED config files, but the value doesn't seem to be used anywhere). I'll fix it in a separate commit (since it also needs adjusting a bunch of unit-tests in libkscreen and kscreen).
