Comment 2 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2014-08-01 16:48:15 UTC
Description of problem:

A seiki SE39UY04 4k monitor edid gets misparsed and the ~300 Mhz dotclock that is needed to display 3840 x 2160 x 30 hz is deemed too high and xorg adjusts it downward to on unusabley low number.

I assume that the EDID has a tricky parsing rule where a previous dotclock limitation is adjusted upward.  (Where the reverse side of the EDID says to add 2 qubits for Rah or something like that.)

This is xorg running with only the default config files.  Notice the part where Xorg claims the timing of the edid exceeds the max allowed dotclock rate.

Comment 4 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2014-08-01 17:29:56 UTC
Just for completeness and in case someone else trips over the bz for help.  Here is the snippet needed to make xorg output at 3840x2160.   There is no flicker, but the lag is pretty bad.  (As can be evidenced by the empty first comment.  The mousie and keyboard have a very noticeable 1/2 sec or so pipeline.)

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 12:32:26 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 21:53:57 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
