Comment 26 for bug 1567417

I have the same problem using precision 5510 + Dell dock, used to have perfectly working 3 monitors setup, which no longer works after the latest update (4.4.0-77-generic).
I can no longer use 3 screen setup, 2 monitors setup is barely working and I often need to reset it after boot, reordering the screen is also impossible.
I tried that with Nvidia latest drivers, with/without intel profile and the open source driver, got the same results.

here is the log message:
