Incorrect Resolution passed with KVM.

Hello All,

My monitor's native resolution is 5120x1440 @ 120.  But when the KVM is used on a Linux distro 1920x1080 @ 60 even though it is supposed for 4K.  xrandr only returns 1920x1080. 

I've tried to run cvt with the above resolution but then the screen turns black.  If I try a lower resolution I get 'configure crtc 0 failed'.

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 5120 x 1440, maximum 32767 x 32767

I'd like to run the native resolution 'through' the KVM switch on a Linux arch environment.

Thanks for your time and attention,

Re: Incorrect Resolution passed with KVM.

for clarity : 
KVM = Keyboard, Video , Mouse hardware switch ?
Your monitor is a DQHD also known as super ultra-wide ?

2 possible causes come to mind
- your videocard can't drive that resolution
- cables / kvm switch are not high enough specced to transfer so much data

What videocard / driver ?

Is the monitor resolution detected correctly when it's connected directly to the pc ?

you appear to be using a hdmi cable, which type is it ?
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Cables

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

There's no sign of 5120x1440 @ 120 HZ , So the answer is no .
The monitor should have come with a hdmi cable from samsung  , probably labeled Premium High Speed or even Ultra High Speed .
Have you tested with that cable ?


As for the kvm switch :
that would be the CKLau-64Hua as shown at https://www.amazon.com/CKLau-Control-Co … B07HRBBLWN ?

If that's the model you have there's bad news : Its max resolution is stated as 4096x2160@60Hz, way below what you need.

Correct, tested with cable it came with.  Still no change in resolution.  I've also tested a cable that is marked with 8K @ 120. 

As for the KVM switch :
that would be the CKLau-64Hua as shown at https://www.amazon.com/CKLau-Control-Co … B07HRBBLWN ?

The model # that I have is exactly the same but with -3N.  This is the 3rd KVM switch I've tried.  Not sure where else to turn.

Re: Incorrect Resolution passed with KVM.

It looks like you may have 2 issues and the kvm switch is secondary for now .
(even  a perfect 32k kvm switch won't solve the primary issue).

There are reports of intel HD graphics integrated gpus not being able to drive dual QHD monitors (5120x1440) .
Specs vary between processor family and generation, but here's an example of a Core I5-6300HQ with a HD 530 :

What processor does your system have ?
If unsure post sudo dmesg | grep smpboot .

Re: Incorrect Resolution passed with KVM.

I've tested the KVM with another Arch system with an AMD GPU dedicated graphics not on-board and I'm still having the same issues.  At this point for me and my workflow, I'd be willing to pay for what will work.

Re: Incorrect Resolution passed with KVM.

Most sites with specs fro the RX460 (including AMD site) don't list resolutions but I found one that does : https://www.gpuzoo.com/GPU-AMD/Radeon_RX_460.html

It lists 4096x3120 as max for HDMI, but 7680 x 4320 for DP 1.4 .

Using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort indicates the best cable for DP 1.4 is HBR3 with a max bandwidth of 25.92 GbIT/s .

Your 5120x1440@120 resolution is not mentioned there, but twice that (5120x2880@120)  is and needs 45.66 Gbit/s .
That indicates your screen would need half as much, or 22.83 Gbit/s .

I suggest you try to connect the screen directly to the RX460 using a DisplayPort cable of HBR3 specification or better.
Once that is verified to work at 5120x1440, 120 Hz with your screen direclty connected you can then look for a kvm switch with DisplayPort connectors that can handle that bandwidth.


one example is https://www.delock.com/produkte/S_11482/merkmale.html .
