Title:
  Login screen invisible / UI hanging when both 4K monitors connected
  via Displayport MST (docking station)

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I am experiencing serious issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10
  (coming from 17.04 with Gnome, kernel 4.13).

  I have 2 x 4K (Asus PB279Q) monitors, connected to a Lenovo Ultra Dock
  (containing 2 x Displayport  via MST), where the Lenovo T550 is
  connected onto it.  Both monitors were working perfectly fine at 30Hz
  simultaneously in an extended desktop, 4K resolution in my old setup
  with Gnome for over half a year (since kernel 4.10 blink issues on 4K
  were solved, i used this setup since then).

  However after upgrading to 17.10 using the new Gnome interface:
  When the laptop is connected to the Lenovo Ultra Dock (to work on both 
monitors), the system is hanging and becoming unresponsive.  The mouse pointer 
is freezing and the only way is to do a hard-reboot.  I have checked the 
monitor settings, it's displayed at 60Hz when active, and it appears I am never 
able to use both monitors simultaneously.  When I get 1 monitor working 
(disconnecting the 2nd monitor from the MST port), after rebooting it works 
fine.  I tried to put settings of the 4K manually on 30Hz, reconnecting, but 
the system hangs again.  I have tried several combinations.  It results in a 
blank (purple) screen and hanging mouse (see attachment).

  I tried also with the installation-iso to run a fresh 17.10 and tried
  the same, the symptoms are similar.  I suspect that must be an issue
  with the Displayport MST on dual 4K setups in the new 17.10.

  When I connect 1 x 4K monitor to the rear displayport of the Lenovo
  Ultra Dock (there are 2 for MST on the rear, so I disconnected the
  other) *and* when I connect the other 4K monitor on the separate
  displayport of the T550 itself instead, it works 100% fine!

  Shortly: based on my knowledge that must definitely be some issue with
  the MST displayport functionality itself, that is unable to
  recognize/identify both 4K monitors when connected to the dock's both
  displayport connections?
