Just the internal LCD and an external monitor of some sort.  The
savage only has one DAC and one FP controller.  I suspect the DVI port
on the docking station is run by a TMDS controller attached to the DAC
output, but I don't know for sure.  I don't know how IBM wired it up.=20
Can you run dualhead on the DVI and vga port in windows?  If so it
should be possible in X, we'd just have to figure out how to route the
outputs.
