theupriser 997cd0744d docs: Drop the kernel pin and HDMI refresh boost descriptions 2026-09-27 12:25:08 +02:00
theupriser 28555175bb docs: Power-off fix texts cover every affected kernel, not just 7.2 2026-09-27 12:23:54 +02:00
theupriser 321bf9bfcb feat: Power-off fix as its own sub-option, drop the kernel pin, feature versions
The power-off fix becomes an opt-out sub-option of Steam Machine
support. The kernel pin is no longer offered: an existing pin (and HDMI
refresh boost, which needs it) is unticked so a normal run removes it.
Components record a feature version on each successful run; installs
with an older version are ticked and updated, and new default
sub-options are ticked where their parent is on.

theupriser 443dbcdfb8 feat: Power-off fix for the Steam Machine; the kernel pin is optional
Kernels >= 7.2 keep the firmware's S4/S5 wake bit on GPIO pin 18, so the
Steam Machine starts again right after powering off. Steam Machine
support now builds a DKMS module (patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c)
that clears it before power-off, for every kernel. The kernel pin is no
longer ticked by default. Module sources and patches move to patches/,
embedded by the single-file build.

theupriser a4781d4e39 feat(ui): Manage button for HDMI refresh boost
The item's switch becomes a Set up / Manage button. Manage lists the
saved displays, removes one with its Remove button, and sets up the
connected display when it has no saved rates.

theupriser 617f5aa613 feat: HDMI refresh boost per display, with a Saved displays screen
Rates are saved per display (EDID ID) and loaded by the hotplug script
for whichever display is connected. The item is on only while the
connected display is boosted; unticking removes just that one. The app
lists the saved displays and removes any of them (hdmi-forget).

theupriser 8840e24d1a feat: HDMI refresh boost only for the display it was set up for
The EDID override moves off the kernel command line to a hotplug script
(boot unit + udev rule) that loads it only while the display it was
tested on is connected, identified over DDC; other displays get their
own EDID.

theupriser 4dffcef60f feat: HDMI refresh boost (Steam Machine, pinned kernel)
The pinned 7.1.6 kernel doesn't read the extra EDID block (HDMI Forum
EEODB) where monitors list their fast modes, and does no HDMI 2.1, so HDMI
displays often stay at 60 Hz. The new menu item reads the display's EDID
over DDC, calculates the highest rate that fits HDMI 2.0 at the desktop
resolution (rounded down to ten, plus the hundred below as a safe option),
tests each step live with a confirmation, and makes the confirmed ones
permanent through drm.edid_firmware (Limine, sdboot-manage or GRUB).

theupriser d211e09795 fix: Show the HDMI-CEC settings in Steam
CachyOS's gaming mode script sets STEAM_ENABLE_CEC=0. A drop-in for
steam-launcher.service overrides it with a later EnvironmentFile=.

theupriser d9d4f3e3f8 fix: Restart steamos-manager after HDMI-CEC changes
It only offers Steam its HDMI-CEC settings when cecd was there at its start.

theupriser 72a18232a5 feat: HDMI-CEC with Valve's cecd, on any PC
Opt-in menu item: cecd, cec-audio-control and inputattach-cec-units from
Valve's holo repository (SHA-256 checked). Works with any /dev/cec*.

theupriser ebfffe81e7 feat: No more KDE wallet password prompts in single user mode
Valve's empty, password-less wallet, like SteamOS. The user's wallet is
moved aside and restored when single user mode is off; the single user
wallet is kept and reused next time.
