Ah yes, the wonders of docking stations. ;-)

The Dell system we have here is great. If the laptop is powered on while 
docked, it sends it video signal to the external monitor at the correct 
resolution. If you open the laptop, it switches to the internal LCD 
monitor, at the correct resolution. And if you close the laptop again... 
it goes into hibernate mode. o_O

Do you have ANY IDEA how ANNOYING that is?!

You'd expect doing the reverse of what you just did to undo the changes, 
but NOOO... that would be too easy. :-P
