I'm sure there's some way to do this via ACPI or whatever, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know. Basically i need an action for "docked" that will try running "dock on" and see what happens. Any thoughts?

I have hacked some really nasty stuff together, hooking (un)dock events through an udev rule, which runs a shell script that exports my users xauthority and display settings and then tests whether or not the dock is present (thus determining if it was a dock og undock, as doing this in the udev rules with attributes didn't always work), and then use xrandr to set the monitors as i wan't. However most of this is IBM specific (i think).

And once more, such that everyone gets it (I'm used to the mail going to the list when just hitting reply). -- Reenberg
