Thanks for the tips. I'll look into upgrading my kernel.
Do you know what version of xorg is required?
Thanks!

The only way I can get them to work right is to have them combined into a single display (i.e. a resolution of 3840x1200 instead of two 1920x1200 displays). This is hard to work with since I can't maximize a window to just that monitor, rather it maximizes to the whole display.

Your dock is probably a DP MST device and so needs at least kernel 3.17 to
work properly. And the support is still wip, so might run into issues.
Iirc you also need an upgraded Xorg.

I am running the latest drivers on an HP Folio 1040 G1. I am trying to setup multiple monitors via the 2013 docking station (dual display port outputs, single VGA).
I am running Xubuntu 14.04, fresh installation, kernel 3.13.0-43-generic from Ubuntu.
Things seem to be working okay, however I am having a problem with the two display ports. The two monitors plugged into the display ports are showing up as DP2 in xrandr, instead of separate monitors. The VGA shows up as a separate monitor just fine and I can configure it separately (though it only shows up when I reboot).
So, I have a couple of questions:
1. How can I force a refresh of the xrandr displays? What I mean is, if I dock my laptop and don't see the VGA monitor show up, how can I force it to be detected without rebooting?
2. Is there any way that I can split the two display port monitors into separate monitors? The only way I can get them to work right is to have them combined into a single display (i.e. a resolution of 3840x1200 instead of two 1920x1200 displays). This is hard to work with since I can't maximize a window to just that monitor, rather it maximizes to the whole display.
Thoughts? Any ideas on how I can get this configured?
I'm happy to send along any diagnostic information needed. Just let me know what to send.
Thanks!
Jon
