Oh, yeah, I've tried debugging and forcing modelines and all that for years. I can get it working at half-resolution, but for it's native 2560x1600 it requires the dual-link DVI bandwidth, and I don't think the open driver is properly initializing the hardware for that second link on most cards.

Might be useful to file a bug report with the logs. If you have already filed one, please post a reference.

Ever try to debug why the drivers failed on your monitor Maybe bad EDID info reported by your monitor?

The open drivers have never worked with my 30" Dell LCD, and now the proprietary driver RPM isn't being maintained for Fedora 20, so I'm staying on 19. Assuming the open drivers in Fedora 21 still won't work, I don't know what I'm going to do, as Fedora ugprades their kernel so often as to make manually reinstalling the binary driver every time a nightmare.

Maybe I'll switch to CentOS 7 or something until KDE5 runs on Wayland by default.

Phoronix: Fedora 21 Was Just Delayed By Another Week

Fedora 21 won't even see its alpha release until September now, it's been delayed by a month compared to when it originally shipped, and there's no guarantee that this is even the last delay to be seen by this long-awaited release...
