Dell Latitude and Linux

[Jeremy Fowler]

Does anyone have a working XF86config file for a Dell Inspiron 8000 that
supports both the LCD display and an external monitor Dell P991 (For when it's
docked in the port replicator). I have Dell's XF86Config-4 file, but it only
works for the LCD.

Anyone have any experience with Linux and port replicators in general? It would
be nice if Linux was able to keep track of different hardware profiles and
change configurations when it detects the laptop has been docked and undocked,
maybe even allow me to use the eject feature.

How about modular drives? Does anyone know if it's possible to remove modular
drives (Zip, CDROM, Floppy, etc...) from Linux while it's still on?

I know Redhat has kudzu and it has some of those features. I need to read up on
it some more to see if I can setup different profiles... Any other ideas or
someone with a similar setup?
