Incorrect display colors on M1 Mac Mini over HDMI

[fyredragon69]

(reposting from docs repo, brainfart)
hello, i recently got my hands on an m1 mac mini and installed asahi linux
so far the project has exceeded my expectations and performs perfectly, except for the display of my choosing
while booted into asahi linux fedora kde remix, the colors of my display seem to be incorrect, and it's not my monitors settings as the issue resolves itself in macos sonoma (now sequoia at the time of writing). the monitor in question is an LG L196WTY running at 1440x900, connected through a DVI to HDMI adapter if that matters. i have tried changing the color profiles within asahi linux to no success. i should note that the issue does not appear when using a different display, a samsung LF24T35 running at 1920x1080

Can you describe how the colors are incorrect in more detail?

• Are they slightly off but red is still red, green still green and blue still blue?
• is the display overall to bright / dark?

You could try sudo grubby --args=apple_dcp.unstable_edid --update-kernel=ALL and then select in KDE's display settings of the monitor "Built-In" as color profile. Despite the name it's not expected to introduce instability. If it causes issues it can be removed from the kernel command line in grub (Press esc immediately after "Booting from nvme" is displayed. The grub menu unfortunately has no cursor so editing is a little annoying). Once you booted it can be removed with sudo grubby --remove-args=apple_dcp.unstable_edid --update-kernel=ALL.

After adding the arg "/sys/class/drm/card2-HDMI-A-1/edid" (or similar the card number is not stable). Please attach the output of edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card2-HDMI-A-1/edid to this ticket.

when i say the colors are incorrect, i mean they are completely off. using the smpte color bars as an example, yellow is purple, cyan and green are black, magenta and red are white, and blue is green

i have ensured multiple times that the color profile is set to default and the monitors preferences have been reset multiple times by me. i tried adding the argument with the command you provided and unfortunately it did not fix my issue, setting it to the "Built-In" profile resulted in the monitor not showing anything

here is the output of the edid-decode command, as you asked:

is there anything else needed to assist in narrowing down the issue?

Similar here but only oversaturated. Might be color profile related but can't be set from the gui.
