The XFX Radeon r7-240a-clh4 and XFX Radeon r7-250a-zlh4 video cards do not seem 
to be able to generate 3840x2160 @ 30 Hz video modes over HDMI, even though I 
believe their hardware is supposed to be capable of this (~299 MHz pixel clock).

At least with my se39uy04 39" Seiki television, the Radeon X.org driver happily 
passed through the five 3840x2160 @ 24-30 Hz that the television's advertises 
in its EDID modes to xrandr, meaning that driver thinks it can support those 
video modes, but, if I select any of them, the telvision just says "mode not 
support."? In comparison, if I make a custom video mode for 3840x2160 @ 15Hz, 
the 4k TV displays that fine.

I observed this problem with the r7-240 and r7-250 on Linux 3.13.0-x86_64, and 
with the r7-250 on Linux-3.14-rc3-x86_64 (I haven't tried the r7-240 on it).


I am reporting this bug now primarily in the hopes that doing so might 
eventually benefit other users.? As for my own use, it looks like I'm probably 
not going to use either of these video cards anyhow, because they appear not to 
support dual link, contrary to Tiger Direct's description fo the r7-250 card, 
by the way (yes, I tried faking dual link connector information in 
atombios.c).? That said, I am happy to do further experiments with these cards 
if that would be helpful.
