I have exactly the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 with an T440s which makes its display connection via the docking stations Display Port.
After I patched the Kernel with Stefan Agners link-train-delay.patch and now it works reasonably well, the time it takes to make the display connection for me is about 10 seconds at max, which is acceptable for me. However, I don't think this solution is perfect, so I added a few dollars to the bounty and hope some working patch makes it upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275794 Title: Lenovo T440s freezes when connected to docking station To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1275794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
