Ubuntu 16.10: 2-3 power on and offs needed, to make the displays work on my laptop

It really looks like an Nouveau driver issue. After I boot the machine, login into Ubuntu, the CPU is ideling, I connect my docking station, everything works. So this issue has nothing to do with the DisplayLink driver and the docking station.

The Nouveau driver causes the need of 2-4 restarts of the system, until I can properly start. Does anybody know any fixes of Nouveau issues here? I was already investigating by googling around, checking the logs, but this seems like a deep topic.
