Which kernel did you update from and to? Also, 4.12 is fairly old - can you try like a live usb image of some distro with e.g. a 5.0 kernel or something? How do you connect the external screen? Is it like a DP port with an optional dock with a variety of active DP adapters? Or is there a DP++ port that you're plugging a DP <-> HDMI passive adapter into?

<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hi Ilia,</div> <div> </div> <div>First I had upgraded from OpenSUSE 13.2 (where it worked) to OpenSUSE Leap 15.1. After having the same issue I have done a clean new install. The new kernel version is 4.12.14, as you suspected. In OpenSUSE, I suspect it was version 3.16.7. Unfortunately, I cannot find out anymore which nouveau version I have used before. I have a file backup of the old installation. Can I find out which nouveau version I had before?</div> <div> </div> <div>During all my attempts, I have also installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 with the same strange behaviour. I guess this was the 4.18 kernel version?</div> <div>Do you know which distrubtion already uses a 5.0 kernel? I will try a live system, then.</div> <div> </div> <div>I have a docking station with 4 monitor ports: VGA, DVI, HDMI, Displayport. And my laptop has VGA and Mini-Displayport. My monitor (Fujitsu P24W-7 LED) has VGA, DVI, HDMI, and Displayport.</div> <div>I have tried DVI->DVI and DisplayPort->HDMI cable on the docking station (I don't hav. In one of my attempts, I have connected the screen via analog VGA cable directly to the computer. The same effect resulted. Thus, I believe the docking station and digital connection to the monitor are not part of the problem.</div> <div> </div> <div>Best regards</div> <div>Harald</div> <div> </div> <div>PS: I guess sending to the mailing list and omitting your personal mail address is correct, right?</div> <div> <div> <div> <div style="margin: 10.0px 5.0px 5.0px 10.0px;padding: 10.0px 0 10.0px 10.0px;border-left: 2.0px solid rgb(195,217,229);"> <div style="margin: 0 0 10.0px 0;"><b>Gesendet:</b> Dienstag, 18.
