[Bug 1886729] Re: Dell displayport YJ3Y6 adapter doesn't drive 4K screen properly

If the same fundamental issue persists in Wayland sessions then it sounds like a hardware limitation or a kernel problem. To help identify which, the Mutter developers might have some suggestions so please report the issue here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues ** Changed in: mutter

It is super snappy but doesn't work any better: one of the external monitors, or the other but not both. I'm unfamiliar with Wayland, and Googling around has not found any equivalent tools to xrandr to let me interrogate what the system thinks is going on, so I've included a screenshot of the disp

Thanks for pointing that out. I was wondering why so many adapters/cables for sale only mention "USB" while also claiming to do 4K60Hz... https://www.displayport.org/displayport-over-usb-c/ So Thunderbolt isn't required, only USB 3.1 Alternate Mode and a powerful (probably only *integrated*) GP

Thank you for the response. I think these might fall into the third category of 'VESA is its own special story' ? I bought both the adapters from the dell configurator at the time I bought the machine. This is the part that flakes: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apd/470-acfc The oth

Hmm, it seems Thunderbolt-DisplayPort cables are pretty rare. Instead of searching for those I suggest looking for adapters that are explicitly for "Thunderbolt" and not "USB". USB 3.0 has a bandwidth of 5 Gbps USB 3.1 has a bandwidth of 10 Gbps 4K at 60Hz however requires 3840x2160x4 (33177600)

You certainly seem to have the latest and greatest Intel GPU which should support 4K up to 120Hz: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/196597/intel- core-i7-1065g7-processor-8m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html So I suspect using "adapters" is the main issue. If you can then please try

IIRC, upstream GNOME/mutter has done some fixes for dual-link displays recently but upstream mostly only care about Wayland. So you might have more luck using 'Ubuntu on Wayland'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https:/
