This appears to resolve the dual-head issue. Both screens are
functional!

Should I pursue the "ignore" option with LVDS? It isn't critical as the
login screen automatically appears on my external monitor, but it is
worth noting that the issue still exists with this version of code.

Another oddity is that the LVDS screen does not display properly when
booted in the docking station. It continues to display nonsense, but the
external monitors work correctly. In fact, the "xrandr -q" shows "LVDS
disconnected", but with a resolution! However, the LVDS stops displaying
the color pattern when I issue an "xrandr --output LVDS --auto" and
continues to say "LVDS disconnected".

Wait, things changed once I opened the LVDS display (it was closed at
boot). Now I am able to initialize it, but it still shows a color
pattern with the "xrandr --output LVDS --auto" command and "xrandr -q"
shows "LVDS connected (normal left inverted right)". While closed,
xrandr insisted that it was "disconnected" (which now makes sense).

Fortunately, the LVDS does work correctly when the laptop is booted
outside the docking station, so these are not critical issue for me
since I don't use the LVDS when docked. Let me know if you want to
pursue them further.

Looking great! Thanks!

Tony
