In another post I explained how to force a specific EDID on boot.

It requires patching the initramfs to contain the EDID and then patching GRUB.

On Fedora, this is slightly different. So I wanted to cover that here.

Install Patched EDID⌗

Install the patched EDID (this example uses the pre-patched EDID attached here) and modify GRUB to use the new EDID.

sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/edid
cd /lib/firmware/edid
sudo wget https://gist.github.com/RLovelett/171c374be1ad4f14eb22fe4e271b7eeb/raw/edid.bin

Patch initramfs via Dracut⌗

Create Dracut configuration to copy the new EDID into initramfs

sudo tee "/etc/dracut.conf.d/00-dell-U2413-edid.conf" > /dev/null <<'EOF'
install_items+="/lib/firmware/edid/edid.bin"
EOF

Regenerate initramfs using Dracut

sudo dracut -f

Modify the GRUB configuration to use the new EDID⌗

Edit /etc/default/grub and add drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin to the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

For example:

--- /etc/default/grub	2020-05-07 10:00:13.816383860 -0400
+++ /etc/default/grub	2020-05-07 10:01:27.358264457 -0400

After saving the changes to /etc/default/grub run sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg and reboot.
