Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Currently, Steam Deck OLED does not support outputting HDR10 for external displays. From what I can tell it just does 8-bit HDR, regardless of what the display is capable of.
I was able to verify that AMD hardware should support this when using the current HDR kernel patchset; this was tested on Fedora running embedded gamescope.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Enable sudo access and sshd service if you haven't already
- Shut down Deck if powered on
- Plug Deck into dock, connect dock to HDR10 display via DisplayPort
- Power on Deck, boot to game mode home screen
- Connect via ssh
- Check the current color format:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/crtc-0/amdgpu_current_colorspace
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/crtc-0/amdgpu_current_bpc
Colorspace should be BT2020_RGB, bpc should be 10 but is instead 8
