This week I discovered some details of digital display technology that I was

1. `sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/edid`

**Note 1:** `HDMI-A-1` is the connector to apply the EDID firmware to. It
was determined from the `/sys` path above:<br>
<code>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:09:00.0/drm/card0/card0-<b>HDMI-A-1</b>/edid</code>
**Note 2:** Older kernels (before 4.15 I think) used
`drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware` as the command line argument instead of
`drm.edid_firmware`.
1. Regenerate the initial RAM disk: `sudo mkinitcpio -p linux`
1. Reboot
After rebooting the display confirmed it was now using RGB and visually it was
looking much brighter! 🤞 the display blanking issue remains fixed as well.
looking much brighter! 🤞 the display blanking issue remains fixed as well. You
can also check the that kernel applied the firmware by looking at the kernel
log (`dmesg`) for a line like:
[ 4.956349] [drm] Got external EDID base block and 1 extension from "edid/edid.bin" for connector "HDMI-A-1"
