Hmm ... interesting ... when you have your libretto in 2 monitor mode (by 2 monitor mode I presume you mean the two monitors display DIFFERENT images and you can drag windows from one monitor into the other - if you only want to use 2 monitors each displaying the SAME image, you can change that in the BIOS by holding down ESC as you boot then pressing F1 when it prompts you then changing the setting in the screen that appears), can you please take a screenshot (just pressing printscreen will do), save the file (Paintbrush does the job nicely) and post the result somewhere where we can have a look? Ideally, can you also have your display setting screen up at the same time? I'm really intrigued as to how you've managed to do that and would love to know what drivers and settings you're using under win98 to achieve this.

Ramond and ALL,
Thanks a lot, but the fact is that I could use 2 monitors with my L110CT, but, running W98. I think that the driver to W2k, that I could't find in toshiba's web site, doesn't have this issue, that had in the W98 driver. Does anyone know if there is any other toshiba computer that use this chipset with a newer driver?
Thanks in advance

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) ...
