[Bug 1813663] Re: External monitors does not work anymore 4.15.0-44

I apologize for the post, should have done some reading on the comments
first. The 4.15.0-45-generic kernel linked to in the 3rd post does
indeed solve my issue, so it looks like they are aware of exactly what
caused this issue and it'll be fixed in future kernel updates. It's
interesting it only seems to affect Dell laptops and docking stations
though, maybe Dell has done something weird/proprietary again.

Title:
External monitors does not work anymore 4.15.0-44

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
Fix Committed

Bug description:
I am using a docking station for my laptop. After install the
4.15.0-44 update my external monitors goes undetected after logging in
or having the laptop closed.

I am on 18.04.1 LTS with Intel® HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2)
Graphics.

Going back to the 4.15.0-43 version makes it all work fine again.
