You need the ibm-acpi driver. Should be inside the standard ubuntu
kernel.

With the acpi event you can trigger a shell script doing the
following, and perhaps some more tasks.

echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock

For a longer description of this feature please refer to the ibm-acpi
README, docking section.
