Yes, another screen is working perfectly through the same HDMI cable.

$ xrandr -s 1920x1080 -r 30 # good picture, yeah! thanks!

The problem remains using xrandr -s 1920x1080 -r 50.
What I do not understand is :
$ xrandr -s 1920x1080 -r 59.94
Rate 59.94 Hz not available for this size
Because the refresh rate is listed. Seems like a rounded output?
Also, documentation is lacking for xorg.conf.d (or I could not find
it) because the following does not seem to be taken into account :
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-samsung.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "SAMSUNG"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080i" # or whatever value
EndSection
so I'm stuck with the xrandr call in ~/.xsession .

Will do when I understand refresh rate manipulation a bit more.
Thanks _a lot_ for the pointers.
