** Description changed:

  I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a ThinkPad P72 with a Quadro P5200. I
  recently purchased the ThinkPad Workstation Dock Gen2 and have been
  having issues with external displays on it.
  
  There are a multitude of issues with this. Sometimes you can plug in
  displays and both will show up fine after running xrandr --auto.
  Sometimes only one will appear and the other will stay black.
  
  There is a chance for any of these things to happen after making a display 
configuration change:
  - Nothing (displays work fine)
  - One display stays black
  - All displays including laptop internal display freeze, which is recoverable 
only by physically disconnecting the displays from the dock
  - Displays flicker on and off rapidly before every one goes dark including 
the laptop's internal display, requiring a hard reset.
  
  I have tried:
  - Upgrading to a newer kernel version (5.6.7) via mainline
  - Upgrading all system firmware, including dock, to latest via Lenovo Vantage 
in Windows dual boot
  - Downgrading the dock firmware from 3166 to 3164 - despite suggestions by 
people in this thread in the Lenovo community 
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Ubuntu/Thinkpad-P1-Gen2-amp-Thunderbolt-3-Workstation-Dock-amp-Linux-Ubuntu-Monitor-s-black/m-p/4575709?page=3
 - this did not work
  - Downgrading the NVIDIA driver version to both 435 and 390 - neither worked
  
+ Downgrading to an older kernel (4.19) appears to work, but it still has
+ some issues with locking up while repositioning displays using xrandr.
