RE: using a laptop as a main machine

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!
