Note:  It's unlikely that this is issue is exclusive to the 565 beta drivers
I've actually never seen it work properly even with previous stable releases.
Comment 1 Zamundaaa 2024-11-06 12:29:47 UTC
This is expected. Your graphics driver doesn't support reporting or controlling rgb range, and the screen doesn't report a peak brightness (which is what the zero means).
