Greetings

(Asking this here as so far I've seen some seriously skilled folks
connecting in!)

I've been working on getting a HiSense 50" TV (3840x2160_30) working
on a Nvidia GTX1050 Ti graphics card. I have a second graphics card
(Nvidia GT (IIRC) 570) with a present stable of 4 -1920x1080 monitors.
I am running Nouveau rather than proprietary Nvidia software and get
to use xrandr to set up my graphics system after every boot but
although it took me a while to learn how to do this setup its pretty
quick now.

Part of the 'fun' in wanting to add the 3840x2160_30 monitor is that
EDID has become a more than somewhat 'challenging' system. Enough so
that I was able to find this:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.6/driver-api/edid.html

Creating this 'custom' EDID is a long ways from my wheelhouse - - - I
have spend some time today trying to find some of the stuff indicated
on that page - - - - can't find anything (maybe also a good thing!). I
am going to attach (hopefully the list accepts attachments) 2 files
which give enough information so that someone with the requisite
skills could create this 'custom' EDID that I need so that I could
then use xrandr to get this monitor working. Is there someone who
might be able to do this? (I think doing it might be a lot less time
consuming that guiding me through the doing of it - - - especially as
I have essentially zero programming skills)

Please?

TIA
