yes, something similar working fine for me, but what I'm really looking 
for is a solution to make it automatic :) so, when I put my laptop on 
the docking station this should change to dual mode, but when I remove 
it can switch back to standalone

at least I would like to make an xorg.conf to handle my two monitors 
better than currently where I have to configure resolutions and display 
placements each time I reboot my machine or changing from or to docking 
station

I know this is a nice dream, but I'm sure the future where this is true 
with linux is not so far :)
