Public bug reported: As in the title the external screen attached to my laptop through Displayport suddenly turns grey and I have to unplug/replug it in order to get the environment to appear again.
This bug started appearing after installing the latest updates (2015-04-14) that included linux-headers-3.13.0-49-generic:amd64. I have in the past installed the Intel Linux Graphics drivers which apparently are now causing some problems with 14.04 so the problem could also be caused by that.
