Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the help and the quick response.

I don't see any marking on the HDMI cable I'm using so I'm guessing it
isn't one a high quality one.

So, I played around with the refresh rates and got it to work at a lower
refresh rate:

xrandr --addmode HDMI-2 2560x1440_24.00
xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode 2560x1440_24.00
xrandr --newmode  "2560x1440_24.00"  113.75  2560 2648 2904 3248  1440 1443
1448 1463 -hsync +vsync

This ties in with the poor quality cable idea.

Thanks again for the assistance,
Jerry.
