Comment 0 for bug 1655450

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon (4th gen) and using the Lenovo one-link+ docking station. The laptop is connected through the docking station to 2 external monitors when docked. When undocking the laptop, the laptop does not detect that the monitors have been disconnected (leaving X in a somewhat unworkable state). Even worse, when undocking with thelid closed (which would previously have resulted in suspend) the laptop now starts working hard and the fan starts spinning up (which is particularly bad when forgetting about this and placing the laptop in a bag). The laptop also becomes very unresponsive to X actions, e.g. xrandr --query takes a a couple of seconds, switching to the console takes > 10s.
This seems to be related to the following Fedora bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392885
which reports almost identical issues. I have not been able to try a new kernel yet to see if issues are fixed.
