Booooo. Prime example of why you don’t ask an LLM for actual information. Samsung Odyssey G9 cannot drop to below v1.4, not to mention any display port mode over 1.4 should understand mode, so this isn’t necessary. There is no ‘Y’ in /sys/module//modeset, it is 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled, and 2 for headless. I know you think you’re helping, but it’s just muddying the water. STOP ASKING LLMS FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION.

I had an llm tell me to 'git clone github/[dot]com’ recently despite telling it the command was flat out wrong… twice. Just don’t do it! Lol

False. Samsung’s own troubleshooting page for the OLED G9 tells you to go to Menu > System > DisplayPort Ver. > 1.2 or 1.1, then reconnect the cable when the host doesn’t negotiate DP 1.4 cleanly. Users on the Neo G9 report the same OSD option, having dropped the DP setting to 1.2 and 1.1 (OSD) while troubleshooting a no-signal problem. Dropping the version is a standard Samsung-recommended step, and it’s a reasonable Linux diagnostic too: at 1.2 the monitor stops requiring DSC and HBR3, so if link training is the problem the port will often show up as connected even though 240Hz won’t be available.
