Does MST work on Linux with desktop cards?

MST basically works, I have a setup having 2 U2515H and another DP monitor, in a chain.

While MST works, I have some troubles during boot, it can take up to 2 minutes(!) of screen flickering until I can start working.

Furthermore the driver sometimes forgets the tiling and orientation, which can be fixed using

xset dpms force off && xset dpms force on
