Schemes work perfectly well. Unfortunately, the ethernet card in my dockings station is on the PCI bus. It's not a PCMCIA card :-( If I close the lid (which suspends the machine) and slot it into the docking station, it wakes up correctly, and immediately decides to hang... The docking station also allows me to use my normal 19" monitor, normal-size mouse and keyboard. I can use then without the docking station too, but that requires re-plugging cables. Call me demanding, but... I'd like to change resoltion automagically too when I dock it. I'm running a patched version of XFree86 v3.3.5 (standard X server doesn't like this graphics card). > Vincent Laisney > > > On Tue, Apr 24, 2001 at 11:23:51AM +0100, Karl E.
