Hi, I use a laptop in that same way and have no problems. Works fine stand-alone and docked with a different resolution monitor (than the laptop screen). All I did was to set the video card in xorg.conf to twinview mode. I think there was a Nvidia driver/tool that would create a similar xorg.conf automatically.
