Public bug reported:
I am experiencing serious issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 (coming
from 17.04 with Gnome, kernel 4.13).
I have 2 x 4K (Asus PB279Q) monitors, connected to a Lenovo Ultra Dock
(containing 2 x Displayport via MST), where the Lenovo T550 is
connected onto it. Both monitors were working perfectly fine at 30Hz
simultaneously in an extended desktop, 4K resolution in my old setup
with Gnome for over half a year (since kernel 4.10 blink issues on 4K
were solved, i used this setup since then).
However after upgrading to 17.10 using the new Gnome interface:
When the laptop is connected to the Lenovo Ultra Dock (to work on both
monitors), the system is hanging and becoming unresponsive. The mouse pointer
is freezing and the only way is to do a hard-reboot. I have checked the
monitor settings, it's displayed at 60Hz when active, and it appears I am never
able to use both monitors simultaneously. When I get 1 monitor working
(disconnecting the 2nd monitor from the MST port), after rebooting it works
fine. I tried to put settings of the 4K manually on 30Hz, reconnecting, but
the system hangs again. I have tried several combinations. It results in a
blank (purple) screen and hanging mouse (see attachment).
I tried also with the installation-iso to run a fresh 17.10 and tried
the same, the symptoms are similar. I suspect that must be an issue
with the Displayport MST on dual 4K setups in the new 17.10.
When I connect 1 x 4K monitor to the rear displayport of the Lenovo
Ultra Dock (there are 2 for MST on the rear, so I disconnected the
other) *and* when I connect the other 4K monitor on the separate
displayport of the T550 itself instead, it works 100% fine!
Shortly: based on my knowledge that must definitely be some issue with
the MST displayport functionality itself, that is unable to
recognize/identify both 4K monitors when connected to the dock's both
displayport connections?
