Public bug reported: My W540 can not detect my external screen when I arrive at work after my laptop have been used at home with no external screen and suspended on the way to work. Sometimes it does detect it. Sometimes I can un-dock and dock again and it works. Sometimes it never works when I am redocking.
After reboot it works fine. It worked with Ubuntu 14.04 on the same HW.
