Description Dillon Dixon 2016-10-19 21:04:24 UTC
So this is regarding AMDGPU DAL as it currently exists in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/log/?h=amd-staging-4.7, which from my understanding contains the most up-to-date public-facing iteration of the DAL patch.

So I have an HDMI 2.0 4K 60 Hz monitor (Vizio D40u-D1) as my main display connected to an XFX RX 480. I'm using a kernel compiled from the branch listed above.

Now the issue I'm having is that I'm stuck at 30 Hz. The RX 480 is capable of driving this monitor at 60 Hz @ 4K, which works under Windows. Trying to switch to 60 Hz either results in no signal, or just 30 Hz again.

I had the same issue in the past with the proprietary Linux Nvidia drivers on a 960 GTX I used to own, and after several months, the devs there were able to figure out what the issue is, describe it in a forum post, and get a fix in. See here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/939971/linux/4k-60hz-works-in-windows-not-in-linux/

So what I'm hoping is that a similar fix would work in DAL.

I can provide logs on request (not sure to log right now).

Thanks!

Is the issue that a 60 hz mode is not available or that a 60 hz mode does not work?  Please attach your xorg log, dmesg output and xrandr output.  You may need this drm patch:

I don't have the same monitor but I don't have any problem lighting up with HDMI 2.0 4k 60Hz with Alex's amd-staging-4.7 and the commit from a week ago:

    reservation: revert "wait only with non-zero timeout specified (v3)"
    
    This reverts commit fb8b7d2b9d80e1e71f379e57355936bd2b024be9.
    
    Otherwise signaling might never be activated on the fences. This can
    result in infinite waiting with hardware which has unreliable interrupts.

If you still see this issue please attach xorg log, dmesg and xrandr output, as Alex suggested.

Thanks for responding to my ticket! Sorry, I didn't have time to record down all the relevant information until recently.

Anyway, the 60 Hz mode is missing completely. I attached the relevant logs to the ticket.

I tried updating my clone of the kernel repo up to the commit at the end of this post, but the issue persists. I will try the suggested patch and respond as to whether or not it makes a difference for me.

Thanks again!

Just tried the patch. That added a 60 Hz mode back in, but when I try to switch to it, I get no signal.

I can post logs if relevant.

Here is my output now from xrandr:

Comment 6 Dillon Dixon 2016-12-02 21:59:41 UTC
I was reminded today that this TV is a bit strange in that 4K @ 60 Hz only works with 4:2:0 chroma, while the common expectation would perhaps be 4:4:4. Perhaps that can help lead to a solution?
Comment 7 John Bridgman 2016-12-02 22:02:07 UTC
The NVidia ticket suggests this might be an EDID issue, with the display saying that it supports 4:2:2 at 4K/60 Hz when in fact it only supports 4:2:0.

Or could have been an NVidia driver bug that caused problems when modes for both 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 were available, hard to say. Anyways, seems like if we can get the driver to try 4:2:0 (possibly ignoring the monitor to do so) then it should work at 60 Hz.

Hey i got the exact same issue with a Samsung HU7505 4k60 television using amdgpu on xubuntu 16.04.1/16.10, amdgpu-pro-16.50-362463 drivers work in 4k60 until the display is turned off and then it gives "mode not supported"

 On pro it might be just DPMS on/off issue or some monitors (this is actually TV where DPMS is usually off by default) or specific issues/customizations like:

 "Samsung offers a new user-accessible control called [HDMI UHD Color] on its 2014 range of UHDTVs. Instead of expanding the TV’s gamut to fulfil Rec.2020 colour space (we wished), it serves to provide support for up to 4:4:4 chroma resolution with 4K@60p/50p sources, indicating that the 55HU7500′s onboard HDMI 2.0 chip is a full-bandwidth, Level A version. [HDMI UHD Color] has to be enabled manually for each HDMI port where 4K res with 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 reproduction is required, because the chroma information is not auto-detected by the chip Samsung is using."

Comment 16 Daniel J Blueman 2017-02-23 03:10:51 UTC
I am experiencing the same 4K @ 30Hz limit with my RX460 and LG 27UD88-W monitor via a Highspeed HDMI cable. I have enabled HDMI DeepColour on the monitor, needed for the monitor to advertise 4K @ 60Hz.

Kernel is stock 4.9.11 on ElementaryOS (Ubuntu 16.04) with the HWE stack.

Comment 18 Alex Deucher 2017-02-23 03:22:11 UTC
If the modes are only in the CEA extension block then this is a core drm issue.  The core EDID parser does not handles all of the CEA 4K modes yet.  Patches were proposed by several people, but I don't think any of them have gone upstream yet due to various objections and bikeshedding.  See:
