boot process/login not shown on external monitor

Since 4 weeks or so I have an odd thing going on: Having my laptop closed on the docking station I don't see any output on the screen until I (blindly) logged in (eg. have X started).

The thing worked once, updates have been reverted after the issue occurred without any effect...

Laptop: HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1
Dock: HP Ultra Slim Docking Station
Monitor: 34" Class Curved 21:9 UltraWide IPS LED Monitor
OS: 4.4.1-2-ARCH
WM: i3
DM: none/Std Prompt
