Not sure if this is a related issue. HP 850 G3 laptop with docking
station, external VGA connected.

If the display blanks for more than an instant, the external display
doesn't come back on until I undock and redock. This is OK:

$ xset dpms force off; xset dpms force on

This, on the other hand, leaves me with no external display:

$ xset dpms force off; sleep 0.1 ; xset dpms force on

Also possibly related or the same problem: if I dock with the VGA cable
unplugged, and plug the VGA cable in, the external display is detected.
Unplug, and it goes away. Plug it in for a second time and it's not
detected again.... until I undock and redock, just like after a screen
blank.

This persists after updating to 4.8.0-32-generic #34~16.04.1-Ubuntu
