Nope, again.
After some 5 or 10 minutes of working, the screen began to look like the old 
TV-sets not being synchronized (diagonal coloured bars), and then it went away 
completely. 

Before writing this message here, I let it run for half an hour or so, and it 
shows the display in xrandr, and then it doesn't show it. "You see it, and then 
you don't".
This here is like when xrandr shwos the display:

The System Settings in kubuntu never shows it (or I never saw it?)

Here I was lucky, and found xrandr between 'connected' and
'disconnected'. It looks crazy that it shows 'disconnected' and at the
same time givestiming information, doesn't it?:

And a few minutes later, in the inactive state, it does this here:

[...]

HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


It looks a bit like those bug reports on FreeDesktop that exist on 'giving up', 
like 
106017 and 108529. 


Just for completeness: I have by now used two different cables, and even two 
different Helix 2 PRO keyboards (those that actually have the Mini-DP port). So 
it can't be a hardware problem of the PRO keyboard, I guess. 
(At this moment I cannot totally exclude a hardware problem of the tablet, the 
lenovo Helix 2, itself. I need to be careful now, I think. The tablet to which 
the other keyboard belongs doesn't have Linux installed.
