I got me a 40" 4k screen, appears I am longer here than I thought.
The Laptop that I have with me is rather antique. And has a FX770m
When I connect to windows, the screen displays 4k resolution.
When I connect to Opensuse 15.1 , noveau driver does not activate HDMI and the monitor is not recognized. Are there patches to use HDMI?
On nvidia G03 HDMI is recognizes, but At max 2048X1080 https://forums.opensuse.org/images/icons/icon9.png
Is there any way to get 4k running?
I have a 2013 Firmi with only DisplayPort output that can with the default modesetting DDX when only a DisplayPort cable is used:

Tried with a passive DisplayPort to HDMI connector, my display reports input not supported. Tried again with an active DisplayPort to HDMI connector gives this:
https://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/38660598With a much older GT218, HDMI is limited to 1920x1200, but 3840x2160 works with dual-link DVI, same display output as with the GF119.
Is this a NVIDIA Optimus configuration?
Did you verify that G03 is the correct NVIDIA driver for your NVIDIA card?

3840x2160 should work with 4k@ 30Hz over HDMI. Win7 can do. I had to use this at the moment, because I cannot get the resolution.
you could try something like
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-0"
DisplaySize 3840 2160
EndSection
in your xorg.conf.d.
See
> man xorg.conf
for more details on how to do this.

DisplaySize affects only the logical display density employed, not the display mode. DisplaySize values must be millimeters, not pixels:
# xdpyinfo | egrep 'dimen|ution'
dimensions: 3840x2160 pixels (678x381 millimeters)
resolution: 144x144 dots per inch
# xdpyinfo | egrep 'dimen|ution'
dimensions: 3840x2160 pixels (443x249 millimeters)
resolution: 220x220 dots per inch
I am now on 15.2. Apparently G03 is not offered any more. HDMI still does not work and using VGA with 1080 on a 4k screen just kills your eyes.
G03 is left at 319 and it appears nvidia’s drivers starting from 359 offered 4K and with 380 4k 60HZ .
So I guess I need a new laptop. Didn’t plan on that.
Or is there any trick to get HDMI working with nouveau
Or has someone a HP compatible ATI MXM I card flying around? /
The only mention in this thread of the totally FOSS upstream default modesetting DDX that I use with all NVidia GPUs instead of the old technology, reverse-engineered nouveau DDX is my #2 post. Is there something stopping you from trying it instead of nouveau?
After reading https://www.tweaktown.com/tweakipedia/89/much-vram-need-1080p-1440p-4k/index.html and https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/quadro-fx-770m.c1436 the 2048x1080 limit suggests to me a gfxcard with 512M VRAM where more is needed to support 4k, but why Windows can do 3840x2160 I cannot imagine, unless with only 256 or 64k colors instead of 16M or more.
2048x1080 limit goes from HDMI 1.4 or less.
Needed video RAM for simple 2D, not gaming:
19201080 = 2073600 pixels.
19201080*4bytes = 8294400 bytes = 6.73 Mbytes.
For 4k: 384021604bytes = 33177600 bytes = 31.64 Mbytes.
You may get 4k with refresh rate = 30 Hz, or more with YCbCr 4:2:0 coding with HDMI 1.3-1.4.
Use newer hardware for a 4k monitors (HDMI 2.0+, DP 1.2+).
Supposedly in old laptop HDMI port connected to Intel graphics, not Nvidia.
