You should be getting EDID back from the screen that can be used to set the mode.

 

You should see the EDID with xrandr --verbose.

 

It is worth looking at the dmesg output to see it the kernel had a problem with the connection.

 

There is a patch in kernel 4.1 that can help with EDID read problems that might be what you are seeing. (Spec says 1 bytes read are good, but vendors sometimes only work with 16 bytes read as that is what Windows does).
