Public bug reported:
the kernels after 4.15.0-55-generic give this error in sys.log:
Sep 20 18:56:09 curt-desktop kernel: [ 1.783787] amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: Direct

Sep 20 18:56:09 curt-desktop kernel: [ 1.783889] [TTM] Memory type 2 has not
been initialized
Sep 20 18:56:09 curt-desktop kernel: [ 1.784033] amdgpu: probe of

so amdgpu isn't working after that kernel, thus it uses VESA for video.
So I have no dual monitors any more.
