18 yes, something similar working fine for me, but what I'm really looking
19 for is a solution to make it automatic :) so, when I put my laptop on
20 the docking station this should change to dual mode, but when I remove
21 it can switch back to standalone
22
23 at least I would like to make an xorg.conf to handle my two monitors
24 better than currently where I have to configure resolutions and display
25 placements each time I reboot my machine or changing from or to docking
26 station
27
28 I know this is a nice dream, but I'm sure the future where this is true
29 with linux is not so far :)
