=== Linux support for multiple screens ===
 
−
Linux does not yet offer explicit support for the [[DisplayPort MST hub]] built into this dock, so multi-screen support is not fully functional under Linux. A single screen works fine and is fully controllable, but multiple screens are handled by a some unconfigurable fallback mode, and appear a single display; they cannot be individually configured in terms of resolution, relative position etc.
 
−
 
 
−
On the ThinkPad {{X240}}, one way to use two external screens is to attach one to a dock port, and another to the laptop's own [[mini DisplayPort]] port.

== Linux dock audio ==
 
−
When headphones are plugged into the docking station, the speakers are muted but no sound is played through the headphones. This is reportedly fixed in Linux kernel 3.16. With older kernels, such as 3.13 that is shipped with Ubuntu 14.04, a workaround is available. Details are here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101386#c10

The bug was reported for a T440s, but it probably applies to all Intel Haswell based ThinkPads. The magic values are slightly different for each model though.
