Jamie, the monitor I wanted to use while docked (19" Dell) I use undocked and it works fine at 1600x1200. When I dock and boot, my monitor goes dead right after issuing the GDM command, but I of course still have the laptop screen. I have read in the past that it was a misconfigured XF86Config file. Any ideas? Thanks!
