No Signal from Laptop Dock Station to Monitor via DVI

[Mitch Wiedemann]

The first thing I'd try is to read the man page for your video card 
driver.  I had a similar (but not dvi) situation with my Dell C600 and 
video from the port replicator.  I had to edit my XF86Config file to get 
it to work.  My video driver is "r128" so I read "man r128" and found 
the answer.

Best of luck.
