true 10-bit color depth

Software darktable

A little update on this.

  1. After massive internet search I managed to get zink working by switching from xf86-video-amdgpu to embedded modesetting driver in xorg.conf
  2. amdgpu appears to have parameter deep_color, defaulted to… right, 0. So one needs to add a line to modprobe.d (in case amdgpu is loaded as a module) or add amdgpu.deep_color=1 to the kernel command line (if embedded).
    At the moment I can’t investigate it further due to the lack of time, but it seems that 10-bit output is an achievable target.
