I have a HP EliteBook 840 G2 running openSUSE Leap 15.0 with a=
ll patches
applied.
The laptop runs fine when it is in normal portable mode (off dock), also wi=
th
an external monitor. When I dock it into its docking station at home, I
experience weird graphic device behaviour. It is a matter of luck if it is =
able
to initialize and configure the attached external monitor the way it is
expected. Sometimes it hangs in an endless config loop when trying to
initialize the monitor.
The external monitor is a SAMSUNG U28D590D connected via display port to po=
rt
#1 to the docking station.
However, if I undock the laptop and plug the very same display cable to the
onboard display port then the display and the laptop run as expected. It re=
ally
is an issue I can only experience when putting the device into the docking
station.
For comparison: I had the chance to try another device, a HP EliteBook 840 =
G3
with the very same docking station and monitor. It was running Windows 7 an=
d I
did not see any strange behaviour. Additionally, I was earlier running open=
SUSE
42.3 on the very same device configuration and did not have any issues. The=
odd
behaviour only started after upgrading to Leap 15.0 and got worse with each
patch cycle, to reach total unusability as of today. Hence, thats why I am
writing this bug report.
One thing I occasionally see is this error message in the logs:
kernel: [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe C
FIFO underrun
I attaching output from dmesg, journalctl, and xrandr in different
configurations. Let me know if you need more.
Thanks for the support.
Please also refer to opensuse bug #1132926 here for more details:

Somehow might relate to this bug here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.c=
gi?id=3D95298
However, my enviroenment refers to the Intel i915 graphics driver as I have=
no
Radeon hardware.
Please also see the opensuse bug first.
Let me know If you need more info.
Thanks for the support.
