You could do the autodetection on startup with a X wrapper script that
looks something like this:
--- cut here ---
#!/bin/sh
if [ `tpctl --io | grep "bus" | cut -c41` == "Y" ]; then startx --
-layout Multihead; else startx -- -layout Singlehead; fi
Of course you will need to have thinkpad and tpctl packages installed.
--- cut here, fold in two times in the middle and put in your pocket ---
(Unfortunately I can't test this really so far, because my savage driver
doesn't support xinerama. But as soon as I'll get a graphics board for
the dock I'll do the same.)
