[Roger Atkinson <ratkinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add me to the list of affected. The above fix does not help.

I have a Dell E7440 with the Intel i915 chipset and especially when I am
docked with two Dell monitors that support streaming miniport, I either
get Cloned displays with Ubuntu Trusty stock, or I get Black Borders and
Popups with an upgraded Kernel and the Xorg Egders updates. I've tried
both 3.18 and 3.17 kernels and am back to using the default 3.13 kernel
since it is the most stable even though I lose a ton or realestate with
cloned monitors. I've been trying to fix this since I got the E7440 last
week. No reset or compiz manipulation or Unity reset or re-install has
helped yet. I have not tried a different Desktop yet. Still new to
Ubuntu and really like Unity if I can get it to work on my current
LapTop correctly, Docked or Un-docked!!
