Already read and done - that's the very page I meant when I mentioned 
"the RPI instructions".  I take it this has worked for you?  Would you 
happen to have a configuration I could copy?

I have used their recommendation for 2060p:
  hdmi_drive=1
  hdmi_group=1
  hdmi_mode=95
as well as putting my monitor timings directly into config.txt:
  hdmi_drive=1
  hdmi_group=2
  hdmi_mode=87
  hdmi_timings=3840 1 176 88 296 2160 1 8 10 72 0 0 0 30 0 297000000 3
But in both cases, Xorg remains blithely ignorant of 4K.

Also, I have already added lines to my Xorg config about the monitor 
timings, to no avail.  They worked under Debian (on a RockPro64 I'm 
trying to replace), which is a similar version of Xorg.
