How to detect Laptop is docked /Undocked?
I am running RedHat 8.0 on my Dell Latitude C610 laptop.
I am having Dell Latitude C/Port II docking station. I have an extra monitor, Dell Optiplex GX260. When I dock my laptop, monitor configuration should be changed to reflect the GX260 monitor . When my laptop is up and running, I docked it. Now my display is on the extra GX260 monitor, but not properly configured. I believe then, this is termed as hot-docking, am I right friends? So is it possible to detect as and when the laptop is docked/undocked and thus, change the monitor configuration accordingly? Where to look for in /proc , if in case the /proc is the directory to look for? In Linux, is there any software/module that dynamically auto-detects and configures the monitor?

At least for Dell laptops, the dock show up as a PCI device,
so it can be detected with lspci, as explained here: http://www.briandowney.net/linux/laptops/c840.php#dockdetection |
