This patch will allow the end-user to adjust the pixel clock with the hdmimhz kernel parameter until the detection code gets good enough: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1a0c96c075bb4517d4ce4fb6750ee0a3cf38714c This page contains a lot of useful information and lead me to a sollution to my problem: https://www.elstel.org/software/hunt-for-4K-UHD-2160p.html.en I think this is worthy of consideration for backport to the Xenial kernel as not being able to use the most recent LTS version of Ubuntu Desktop with current hardware is a drag. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: frode 2797 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: frode 2797 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ae0b4ef2-57b4-4ab5-ac55-be113c10f1d1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-01-08 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) MachineType: Apple Inc.
