libddcutil behaves differently/fails after a hotplug compared to ddcutil

[rockowitz]

This looks like another instance of stale value in /sys/class/drm//edid, causing dref->drm_connector not to be set. Probably simplest to use ** ddcutil environment --verbose** to confirm. Execute the command after a hotplug and also when the system is started with the monitor plugged in.

Attachments:

1. Already connected and nvidia-settings enabled ddcutil environment --verbose 2>&1 | tee boot-nvidia-config.log

boot-nvidia-config.log

2. Reboot and hotplug, enable Beng via nvidia-settings then ddcutil environment --verbose 2>&1 | tee hotplug-nvidia-config.log

hotplug-nvidia-config.log

sdiff boot-nvidia-config.log hotplug-nvidia-config.log |less
