Description Viktor Jancik 2015-11-18 12:16:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Placing Lenovo Thinkpad 450s into the Dock results with only some of the external displays waking up. This can be either one of the two, or on rare occasions, none of the two.

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place a Thinkpad with running Fedora into a dock, with connected external displays.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Some of the displays wake up sometimes.

Expected results:
All of the displays wake up always.

Additional info:
This issue can be resolved by closing and reopening the lid on the laptop after it's been placed inside the Dock. This usually causes the remaining sleeping external display to wake up.
I know other people who have different hacks around it, like forcing a rerender of the screens using a x11 tool (not sure which one), or just pulling out and plugging in the sleeping display.
