Thank you for your quick reply.
I have a Gigabyte GT-730 2GB card hooked directly via a high quality
HDMI cable to a 65 inch Samsung curved screen LCD 4K monitor.
I'm not sure what I am looking for in dmesg and xorg log.
Please advise.
I have built the 3.19.8 kernel and enabled frame buffer
HDMI with nouveau is limited to 165mhz unfortunately. This is
incorrect (the hardware can do more), but nevertheless, that's the
present limit. If you can connect the screen over dual-link DVI or DP,
you should be able to get the full resolution.

Hello. I hope this is in the right place.
I just built a new machine and installed Xubuntu and I'm still figuring
things out.
I'm interested in working with The Linux Frame Buffer.
Many years ago, I started a project called ezfb and I would like to
continue developing it on a machine
If you only get 1920x1080 in X, chances are that nouveau doesn't
believe it can do 3840x2160 for one reason or another. There are a
number of reasons why this might be the case, please provide dmesg,
xorg log, and information on how the monitor is connected (including
any A->B type adapters).
Oh! Bummer.
Thank you again for getting back to me.
My video card only has one HDMI, one digital video and one analog VGA port.
So I guess I'll have to wait for future nouveau developments.
I don't really need high speed graphics, openGL or 3D.
I'm not a gamer. I just like to write my own
