I just upgraded to 19.04 and my docking station with 2 monitors connected to it will not display anymore. Here is my xrandx output:

I had the same issue with:

  • DELL XPS 9370
  • DELL TB16 Docking station
  • DELL UPD2516 Monitor

Monitor was not detected after upgrade from 18.10 to 19.04. Reboot did not fix it. After reconnect (cables) from Laptop to the Dockingstation and from the Dockingstation to the Monitor it worked again ... not sure if it was an issue of the Dockingstation, Monitor or of the Laptop.
