It seems strange that you use the boardname "Radeon RX Polaris 12" for your ATI R9250, and the boardname "Radeon 9250" for your AMD RADEON RX550), but maybe that was just a typo
when entering the info here?
You are right, I typed it in on an Android phone and the site did not work properly, thanks for pointing that out, I will edit my previous post.

But maybe more important:
You have CMPLENGTH=19 for both of the boardnames "Radeon RX Polaris 12" and "Radeon RX Polaris 11". Those names are 20 characters long each. So in effect you have created two monitor files which will be seen as one and the same, i.e. a random one will be picked, because the CMPLENGTH tells the distinguishing code to only compare as far as the 19th character, which means you have two monitors with the name "Radeon RX Polaris 1" (the "1" or "2" at the end are not seen in the comparison.
At least that's how I have understood it.
Well spotted. I checked on the AmigaOne and the name of the cards in Rangers is without the space between “Polaris” and the number. I wrote the post by memory without checking.
Up until now, I hadn’t read anywhere what you and Joerg explained, good to know about the workings of CMPLENGTH, I will make changes accordingly in my system.

Edit:
edit Niels:
Are you one of the responsible persons for the wiki? Maybe it would be a good idea to edit and explain this.

I’ll be glad to offer my help, maybe writing the text and you will only have to redact it, if you are short on time.
Unless that is, that the wiki is not being edited for political reasons, to force some higher ups to collaborate to bake bread, instead of “competing” for the crumbs.
