#tab-history an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is
available (1.12). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Radeon MST bug

Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati:
  Confirmed
Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The kernel was launched with the options: radeon.mst=1 radeon.dpm=1 (however, I noticed identical symptoms for radeon.mst enabled only)
  The setup in total includes 3 screens: laptop's one + 2 times Dell U2715H (connected by Display Port daisy chain)
  I get Ubuntu login GUI on two Dell screens, laptop's screens got off. The Dell screens are properly detected as separate: I can move mouse from one screen to another. Image on the last Dell screen is defected (blur) as in the attached picture. After login all screens switch to power safe mode.
  Afterwards, I'm able to switch to CLI (ALT+CTRL+F2) but screens is doubled on two Dells (they are treated as one), laptop's  screen remains off.

  In dmesg I found only information about error:
  [drm:radeon_mst_encoder_dpms [radeon]] *ERROR* DPMS OFF 0
