Problem with X on laptop in docking station

[Andrew Robinson <awr cpu com>]

I've got a Dell Latitude laptop on which I have installed Redhat 7.1. When 
I take the laptop out of the docking station and boot it up, all comes up 
fine. However, when I boot up Linux with the laptop in the docking station, 
X windows fails to start. It tries to start, fails, drops back to the text 
login, waits a minute or two, then tries again. I assume the problem is 
somehow related to the difference between the laptop lcd screen and the 
monitor attached to the docking station. I'm hoping its just a 
configuration issue that I'm too newbie-fied to know about. Could some kind 
soul guide me to a solution?

Thank!

Andrew Robinson
