Comment 34 for bug 1615734

Hi guys,
I am joining this community of frustrated dock users. I am running Linux Mint Sonya with MATE desktop on a P71 uusing the dock with two external monitors with nvidia 384.90 and the discrete graphics pre-selected in the BIOS.

When I started this, the first hing I noticed was that having a monitors.xml would cause the screen to flicker, so I had to run everything without it. Then, after boot, I had to put it back to suspend once before I started working, since after the first suspend it would change the SEQUENCE of the monitors. Afterwards, the sequence would remain. So that worked for a while.

After the upgrade to the latest Nvidia driver on October 26th, the sequence was not changed anymore, so that was actually good. This worked for four days, I think. Now, I get the effect mentioned in a post a bit further up: wheneever I try to wake the laptop up from suspend (or hibernate), I just get a flickering and I have to reboot - obviously not what one would want.

I also think that XUbuntu is a bit minimalistic, but if it saves me this headache, I might give that a try. This is really annoying!
