notebook with dock and X config.



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have a dell notebook at work.  Had it running dual boot with win2k and 
rh7.1.  I decided to give 7.2 a try on it and ran into a problem. . .actually 
two problems.

Under 7.1 I configured X for the flat notebook display and luckily when I 
docked it it worked fine on the Sun(sony) 17" monitor.  However, now with 7.2 
I can configure X on the notebook fine but it will not work in the dock.  I 
get an error on the monitor saying "out of scan range".  I decided to try to 
configure the Sun monitor on it just to see the difference and to my suprise 
I could not get it to work at all!  Every config I tried failed.  I even 
stole the ranges and did a custom config comparing it to a working 6.2 sparc 
box I also have with the same monitor. . no worky.

First question: Has anyone else found this problem and do they know how to 
fix it?
Second:  I never bothered to put the time into this box but I was wondering 
how it is best to set up a notebook with a dock for the two different sets of 
configs?  I also have two different pointing devices that don't play well 
together and it's a pain to have to rerun mouseconfig to fix it all the time. 
. .how does the rest of the world do this?
