ddcutil 2.1.4 - display not found; ddcutil 1.4.1 works about ddcutil HOT 4 OPEN

Thank you for the report.

Apparently you are running the Debian build for the Raspberry Pi. Video driver vc4 is using DRM and /sys in non-conformat ways. See for example, the the verbose output of detect, where /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/enabled reports "disabled" and /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/status reports "disconnected".

ddcutil 2.1.x makes increasing use of /sys so that libddcutil can detect dynamic display connection and disconnection, which is why you're seeing the errors. Unfortunately, this use will have to be reviewed to avoid the errors you are seeing while retaining functionality for drivers that do properly use DRM and /sys.

Ok let me know if you'd like me to test a fix when you are able to

@p1r473 I've made a couple changes that reduce the use of /sysfs for video drivers that may not use /sys properly. Let me know if they address your problem.

@rockowitz Its working sometimes but I am also getting mostly error output
ddc.log

Failure retrieving DRM resources, errno=95=Operation not supported

and

Setting value failed for feature xD6, rc=DDCRC_RETRIES(-3007): maximum retries exceeded
    Try errors: DDCRC_RETRIES

However it is now sort of actually working

Also an issue with interrogate- it dumps the entire dir of my home folder. causing this massive 5mb log file
