MadOtis LQ Newbie Registered: Oct 2003 Distribution: Slackware, Fedora, Gentoo Posts: 18 Rep:	Docked/Undocked Xinerama Hello all, I have an HP/Compaq nc6120 laptop that I run Gentoo on. I have 99% of it configured and running properly. My question is, is there a way for the system to recognize when the latop is docked or undocked so I can enable or disable the second monitor (Xinerama) programatically? In windows, I can undock and it recognizes that there is no longer two monitors (1 laptop, 1 external) and reverts back to just the laptop LCD. Is there a way for this to happen in X? If I can get this last annoyance resolved, I can finally be 100% functional under Linux. Thanks in advance for the help! Cheers! Randy
