No support for interlacing

[Ketorin]

Would it be a lot of work if support for interlaced modes was added?

Some people would need it, I would need it. (CRT projector, 1080 lines interlaced.)

Meanwhile, I'm studying your work and alternative ways to spoof the EDID.

Ah, yeah, interlaced should be supported as is, what modeline are you handing it?

Hi,

sorry to necro this issue, but I have a fix ! First apply this patch :

diff --git a/edid.S b/edid.S
index ef082dc..d1adf9e 100644
--- a/edid.S
+++ b/edid.S
@@ -237,7 +237,7 @@ y_border:   .byte   0
    Bit 1       If analog sync: Sync on all 3 RGB lines (else green only)
    Digital: HSync polarity (1=positive)
    Bit 0       2-way line-interleaved stereo, if bits 4-3 are not 00. */
-features:      .byte   0x18+(VSYNC_POL<<2)+(HSYNC_POL<<1)

 descriptor2:   .byte   0,0     /* Not a detailed timing descriptor */
                .byte   0       /* Must be zero */

This allows to use a #define FEATURES inside your .S like:

#define FEATURES 0x18 | 1<<7

See how I've enabled the interlace bit (number 7) for the features byte with 1<<7. I'm not sure how the sync bits (the 0x18) work, they could have stayed in the edid.S rather than in my own edid .S

I can submit a PR if you wish.

Please could this patch be integrated? Without interlace support people trying to use this great tool for interlaced monitors/TVs are stuck.

@STPKITT @substring Want to put up a patch?
I'm happy to accept this if you can wire it up as an option to declare this

Oh God that was aeons ago ... May have a look at it eventually, but it would be best to add a commandline parameter to ask for an interlaced resolution. Just applying the change like this would make all resolutions interlaced, and we don't want that
