I'm on 17.10 now, and while it doesn't completely break like it did in 17.04, I'm getting the screen going to sleep within a few minutes of logging in, after booting with the laptop lid closed. I'm also finding if I leave the monitor sleeping overnight after doing a screen lock, it refuses to wake up in the morning, which may be a different issue, but seems suspiciously related.

Bios will show on the external monitor, as well as gdm when boot is finished. You can then choose a user and type in your password, which is accepted. But then, system goes to sleep (as the lid is cloesd I guess). Going out of sleep with the power button shows the gnome shell.
