    Dual monitor problems with T42p and docking station

    Hello

    I have an IBM T42p. I use an IBM docking station to connect up to a dual monitor setup (a Lacie 319 monitor - fantastic colour rendition! :) ). Everything works great when I set it up in Control Panel. I have the laptop's monitor as the main monitor and the Lacie as the secondary monitor.

    However, as soon as I undock and then try to re-dock, the Lacie isn't activated any more. I have to go back into Control Panel and re-activate it ("Extend my desktop onto this monitor") (although it's all fine again once I've done this).

    While this is not a major problem, it's really annoying having to do so every time I undock.

    I've downloaded all the latest drivers through IBM's software updater.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!
