Created attachment 94377 [details]
tar file containing /var/log/Xorg.0.log and logs of dmesg, xrandr, xrandr --verbose for both cards (r7-240 and r7-250)

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 am attaching a .tar.gz file containting /var/log/Xorg.0.log and logs of dmesg, xrandr, xrandr --verbose for both cards (r7-240 and r7-250).

Thanks to Alex Deucher for advising me to file this bug report here.

Thanks in advance for any further processing of this bug report.

Does the attached patch help?
Comment 2 Adam J. Richter 2014-03-07 08:28:15 UTC
I confirm that applying your patch to linux-3.13.0 resulted in both XFX Radeon video cards working (r7-240a-clh4 and r7-250a-zlh4).

Thank you, Alex!  Great work!
Comment 3 Adam J. Richter 2014-03-07 08:29:59 UTC
Just to clarify, I confirm that that patch made both video cards successfully output 3840x2160 over HDMI to a Seiki se39uy04 television.
Comment 4 Alex Deucher 2014-03-07 14:07:17 UTC
Great.  Patch is sent upstream and should show up in the stable series as well soon.
