Public bug reported:

Hi,

I own a Dell XPS12 (9Q33) and recently i have had 2 external monitors
hooked to that through the (mini) display ports. The Screens are from
the type Dell P2815Q. The screens have the ability to use Daisy chain
(MST=>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Multiple_displays_on_single_DisplayPort_connector),
but it fails if i connect my laptop with 2x 4k external monitors. If i
try it, it shows me some quick lines of text and returnes me to the
login screen. If i turn _off_ the secondairy screen, it does login with
1 external monitor at 4k. If i setup the resolution to 2x 2,5k on the
external monitors, it does work. Both at the office (where there are as
well 2 Dell monitors with 2,5k resolution (2500xsomething) but from a
different type). I think the problem is with the 4k resolutions. The
setup does work on Windows 8.1 Pro, so i can use my main screen at
1920x1080 as 2x 4k external screens (although its on 30Hz, but thats due
to the display port 1.2 specification i think). I haven't tried to
connect the laptop with the main screen disabled/closed, so im gonna try
that soon. But even if that works, i still think it's a bug as it seems
to work on Windows.

I've researched the fora, askbuntu, launchpad but i can't find a similar bug so i think i found one. I did find one thread that says it should work and is consistent with the MST working;
- http://askubuntu.com/questions/369946/displayport-1-2-mst-daisy-chain-dual-monitor-setup-intel-graphics/401614#401614
But i can't find anything similar with the 2x 4k resolution.

Although i've tried, im a newbee at linux so excuse me if don't do stuff
like it's supposed to. The ubuntu irc channel told me to use ubuntu-bug,
so thats what i'm doing here. If i need to do things differenty, let me
know.
