Here is full dmesg with verbose patch on 4.4.1 and dual-link DVI-HDMI cable: [1]

Dual-link works OK:

Ville, Daniel,

I've just got another monitor and another DVI-HDMI cable, and here what I've

I presume the above LG screen is what you've called previously "old
monitor"?

Funky. Can you pls grab the debug logs (with the special patches from
Ville) for this case? I wonder why suddenly different cable and it works.

Also: Is this one of these older-ish screens where you must have a
dual-link cable to drive it at full resolution&refresh rate?

===Laptop with HDMI output===

I'd say that single link DVI cables are broken with new kernel, but one of
monitors could work with such a cable. So I have no idea :(.

Oleksandr.
