AFAIK the Neomagic chip that is used in the L100/110 only supports one output. The docking station (or port replicator) duplicates whatever is coming out on the screen (actually it is a little more complicated than that to account for refresh rates, resolutions, the ability to switch from one to the other and so-on but it displays the same info through both channels).
Single mobile video chips with dual monitor support for the mass market only really came out maybe in 1999 (I remember some of the Toshiba Satellite models from about that time WERE able to throw a different display out the external monitor port). However, in those cases, even without the external monitor connected, under Win98SE, ME and 2k they would show you two desktops in the settings tab (assuming you had the video chip's or Toshiba's drivers installed).
Of course, you still get the odd more recent laptop that can't do this (I'm typing this on a Portege 7220CTe with an S3 Savage 3D IX8 and whilst the CHIP can do this, for whatever reason it seems Toshiba haven't configured the circuit such that the laptop can) ...

Hello,
I have a Libretto 110CT, with the small docking station, running Windows 2000 pretty good. The problem is that I can't use dual monitor option, with 2 diferent screen area, the maximum I can do is to replicate my desktop area in the 2nd monitor. Anyone know how to make the 2 different areas, in the 2 monitors? In W98 I could do that, but in 2k I can't. Thanks in advance,
Maximiliano Nogueira Garcia
