[SOLVED] 4k@30Hz although hdmi 2.0 port, dock and cable

hi,
i have an Thinkpad P14s Gen 2 AMD on an Thinkpad USB-C Dock Gen 2.
Latest Arch installed. Wayland, Gnome.
I want to connect an 4k@60Hz Monitor on the Dock via HDMI 2.0.
But as well via laptop port as via dock i only get 4k@30Hz, HDMI 1.4
But the laptop supports HDMI 2.0, the dock supports HDMI 2.0 and i have an HDMI 2.0 cable.
Please help, i'm very frustrated.
Regards,
Arthur

Some monitors (my own included) support HDMI 2.0 only on certain ports.

Re: [SOLVED] 4k@30Hz although hdmi 2.0 port, dock and cable

i have an HDMI 2.0 cable.

Such thing doesn't exist.
The actual, legit version tag you're looking for (I'm not making this  up) is "HDMI Premium High Speed", the "premium" is important (again: this is not a prank, this *is* the official cable "version")
Alternatively "HDMI Ultra High Speed" (one grade higher)

You can also try adding this modeline

% cvt12 3840 2160 60 -b
# 3840x2160 @ 60.000 Hz Reduced Blank (CVT) field rate 60.000 Hz; hsync: 133.320 kHz; pclk: 522.61 MHz
Modeline "3840x2160_60.00_rb2"  522.61  3840 3848 3880 3920  2160 2208 2216 2222 +hsync -vsync

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
