I've gotten pretty close to a nice plug-and-play system, even if I don't
get exactly how it all works.
Does anyone here use a docking station? This works for now, but I'm
buying a 19" LCD soon and would like to be able to set up some kind of
script so when I dock my system it clones the screen onto the external
LCD, and doesn't care if I close my monitor's lid.
The current xorg.conf I have seems to load a generic gnome setup,
because not only aren't my desktop files shown on the external monitor,
my panel isn't customized. I don't understand how that's possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
