    Not sure what the terminology is, but is there a way to set up rules for what happens when I dock and undock my x201? For instance I'd like it to automatically use my external monitor and turn off the laptop screen when I dock. This happens maybe half the time now, but not always. It would also be nice to set up rules to mute my system when I undock, and turn the speakers back on when I do. I figured there would be some utility for this either in Windows or a Lenovo built one, but can't seem to find anything.

    Bump. Surely there has to be a way to tell the system to use the external monitor when docked?
