Yes this is fixed upstream, Yay! Given that vivid is end of life, i think you can close this, but leave it up to you. In any case: Thanks for guiding me through this!

They *are* recognized after a reboot (not after logout). After plugging out and the in again they are not recognized. A monitor plugged in and out of the non-dock VGA is recognized instantly. After plugging in or out of the non-dock VGA, monitors plugged to dock ports are recognized (which serves as a crazy workaround for me now) (update: this works sometimes, sometimes not). Everything used to work with 14.10, but stopped with 15.04. A recent test with 1510 live CD did not fix this. --- .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.8 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity DistUpgraded: 2016-01-04 01:09:49,649 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: vivid DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:501e] InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-03-05 (311 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) MachineType: LENOVO 20AUS00N00 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/@/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-43-generic root=UUID=82cd15d9-7510-4d2f-a698-28fa51216e13 ro rootflags=subvol=@ quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-43.49-generic 3.19.8-ckt10 Tags: vivid ubuntu compiz-0.9 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-43-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2016-01-04 (6 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lp lpadmin plugdev sambashare saned sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 08/13/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: J4ET67WW(1.67) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20AUS00N00 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: NO DPK dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrJ4ET67WW(1.67):bd08/13/2014:svnLENOVO:pn20AUS00N00:pvrThinkPadL540:rvnLENOVO:rn20AUS00N00:rvrNODPK:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 20AUS00N00 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad L540 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.12.1+15.04.20150922-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.60-2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 10.5.9-2ubuntu1~vivid2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 10.5.9-2ubuntu1~vivid2 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3.1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.2 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1 xserver.bootTime: Wed Jan 6 15:29:10 2016 xserver.configfile: default xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.outputs: product id 5568 vendor CMN xserver.version: 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1530171/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
