            Bug ID: 104506
           Summary: Unable to set "IT Content" bit for HDMI and
                    DisplayPort
           Product: DRI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All

          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/Intel

Hi,

apparently the Intel HD Graphics driver for Windows has a "IT Content" option
that can be either enabled or disabled, see following screenshot for example:

According to a post on the AVS Forum, enabling "IT Content" does the following:

Apparently there is no option for it on the Linux driver.

Can you please add an option to the Linux driver which allows to enable the "IT
Content" bit?

Regards
