I've successfully run two external monitors plus the laptop screen using an IBM docking station and a fairly modern laptop. I don't think the resolution was 1920x1200, more likely 1600x1024.
I've also tried running two external monitors on a docking station for my HP ProBook 6560b, but it supports only two (although the docking station has two VGA and two DVI ports, and maybe a Displayport port as well). I've read that I need to put an active adapter on the Displayport port to get both externals to work in addition to the laptop screen, but I haven't tried that. --Bob.
