Not reading DDC HDMI Input source code correctly #4150

Description

My monitor has the following hardware inputs:

USB-C 1
USB-C 2
HDMI

In Linux ddcutil reports the following codes:
0f Displayport 1 (real = USB-C 1)
10 Displayport 2 (real = USB-C 2)
11 HDMI 1 (real = HDMI)
Switching works as expected.

BetterDisplay reads the following codes as active when I change input in the monitor menu:
15 Displayport 1
16 Displayport 2
17 HDMI 1

But when I try to switch to HDMI via Betterdisplay (i.e. sending code 17) I get no signal.

  1. Why does Betterdisplay think HDMI is 17 when ddcutil thinks HDMI is 11?

  2. Is it safe to tell Betterdisplay to send 11 to my monitor for HDMI?
