This should be captured as an xorg crash file in /var/crash. Is this the
case?

Title:
  connecting 2x 4k displays in ubuntu 15.04 with daisy chain displayport
  (MST)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
