dvi on a dell d505


I can't get the dvi-out to work with the advanced port replicator on my dell
latitude d505. My external lcd-monitor is an Eizo L557. If anyone has made
this working, would you please post your XF86Config.

I'm running mdk 10.0, and the chipset is a i830. My XF86Config-4 looks like this:
