yes.  you can put a pci video card in the dock and use it.  As an
alternative, you can grab the latest radeon randr-1.2 branch and have
full control over all the outputs on the laptop and dock.  so, you can
turn off the laptop panel and enable the VGA and DVI ports on the dock
if you like.  you can even write a script to change the output
automatically when you dock or undock.
