    I have a Travelmate 800 series with ATI chipset. I can extend my desktop across the laptop screen and an external monitor and I can make the external monitor the primary screen. This machine is 3yrs old and uses the older docking station - the Easyport.

    We have several Travelmate 3000 series laptops here which have the Intel 910 (or something like that) chipset. They use the EZ docking station. While you can extend the desktop across the 2 monitors it seems impossible to make the external monitor the primary one. Anyone else had experience of this?

    I really want to know if this is a feature of the Intel chipset or of the EZ docking station.
