I'm pretty sure Skylake doesn't support HDMI 2.0

there are some who do through a DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 onboard converter.

Still no fix for maxwell with 4G : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94990 .

Thanks Nvidia for making the firmware secure without giving any help to really implement this, especially for the hardware where you thought it me be funny to make 4G 3 1/2 G "fast" and 512 MB "slow".

Thanks nouveau devs for trying to endure this painful and surely annoying shit.

Actually the issue has nothing to do with the firmware. The issue is that we don't configure the memory properly, because of the weird partition layout.

Is there any ongoing work for DP MST(daisy-chain setup of two screens) on Intel hardware?

It was completely broken before 4.7, on 4.8 it basically starting working but with ugly glitches, on 4.9 I see the same problem but there are some stability improvements.

It really feels like the Intel developers don't eat their own dog food, especially for multi-screen environments driven by docked laptops.
