Description Trevor 2024-10-27 01:57:39 UTC

kwin_x11 is filling up my journal with the message “kwin_core: parsing edid failed”. I have a no name brand monitor that’s very limited. And probably the edid data is not queryable - but kwin_x11 expects it to be and because it’s not, it keeps spamming journal entries.  One solution may be to rate limit the creation of kwin_core: parsing edid failed journal entries.
