XPS 9360 4K External Monitor
I have 4k monitor (Dell P2715Q) and would like to get 3200 x 1800 resolution. Current driver freezes the system at this resolution and kind of works on 2880 x 1620 but eventually freezes as well.
The shipped driver is
~$ sudo modinfo i915_bpo
filename: /lib/modules/4.4.0-45-generic/kernel/ubuntu/i915/i915_bpo.ko
license: GPL and additional rights
description: Intel Graphics
author: Intel Corporation
author: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
firmware: i915/bxt_dmc_ver1.bin
firmware: i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin
firmware: i915/kbl_dmc_ver1.bin
firmware: i915/skl_guc_ver6.bin
...
How can I get desired resolution on external monitor?
Will upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 help?

Solved.
For those who run into the same issue.
After in-place upgrade to Ubuntu 16.10 the new driver works fine. I get full 3200 x 1800 resolution on external 4K monitor.
