    Dear All

    We have a sony Vaio VGN-TZ3WN which is connected via a Matrox box to 2 vga screens. The issue is that (2 hardware profiles) when logged in on the docking station it does not automatically kick into the 2 screens (stretched as one) even though it is setup. If you undock, login. Shutdown, and re-dock the laptop it loses its settings and you have to mess around with the graphics drivers.

    I have spoeken to Matrox, Intel and Sony and neither seem to help.

    We have an older sony vaio which works perfectly with teh matrox box, if you just dock it works across 2 screens. If you undock, and then re-dock it just picks it up from the hardware profile.

    The new latop does not play ball.

    I have updated the intel drivers, ran the latest matrox settings, but with no luck.

    Can anybody help.

    Even FN and F7 dont work properly, when the two screens kick in they run in singular mode, not stretched across 2 screens.

    Please help
