Max resolution issue in skylake build

[grootbatavia]

Running a skylake build with a dell ultrasharp 2711 monitor. Many things work, some don't. One of these is the display. It will only display well below its native resolution. I've tried fixing it with clover config but to no effect. Also installed the driver with clover config, didn't make a difference either.

Any suggestions?

Which GPU, how is the Display connected?

My guess: You're using HDMI and Need the Pixel Clock Patch.

I have the same monitor and have no problem using the DVI or DP connectors.

Good morning Stork,

Thanks for the reply. Not sure why the components weren't there, I thought I had pasted them. Anyway, have updated my profile so they show. Running the mobo graphics as I figured that the fewer components, the more likely it was that I would get an easy install. I've built two hacks in the past (both Z87X) and besides some small tweaks they have been easy to set up and ave run great over the years.

Will look at the pixel clock patch suggested, but alternatives are of course welcome! Anything that may work.

Have found another "issue". If I open any image in preview and view it at actual size, preview crashes. Not with smaller sizes, but larger files (presumably over a certain size) make preview crash. Any experience with this?

Thanks,

JW

Thanks Florian, will have a look at this.
