DDC communication fails with a Lenovo T24i-10
I have a Lenovo T24i-10 connected via HDMI and get an error when using ddcutil detect. I think the monitor should support DDC, but right now, it doesn't work with ddcutil On my Samsung C34J79x ddcutil works as expected.
Output for ddcutil detect:

Please let me know if I can supply you with more information.
Attempting to read feature X10 (Brightness) is part of the tests as to whether the monitor supports DDC; I've yet to see a monitor that does not implement that feature. Strangely, it is however readable when performed by command probe. What is the output of ddcutil --bus 7 getvcp 10 --verbose?
Also, as a workaround, consider using option --skip-ddc-checks, introduced in release 2.1.0. Testing DDC communication occurs in two parts. At the basic I2C layer, there's a simple check that I2C slave address x37 (DDC) is alive. At the higher DDC layer, communication is tested by actually attempting to read feature x10 (which should always exist) and also to read several features that are expected not to exists, to check for the possibility that the monitor reports unsupported features incorrectly. Option --skip-ddc-checks skips the latter tests. (The option was introduced to improve performance of scripts invoking ddcutil repeatedly for the same device.)

VCP (aka MCCS) version for display is undetected or less than 2.0. Interpretation may not be accurate.
Getting data for non-table VCP code 0x10 - Brightness:

but sometimes it also only prints this:

Using --skip-ddc-checks results in the following output of ddcutil detect:

The error is a different one, but it still fails to set the brightness.
All of these errors reflect DDC communication failure. Please submit the output of ddcutil detect --verbose --ddcdata. This should show the bytes of the packets returned by the monitor.
