laptop problem:
How do I get a dvi monitor connected to a thinkpad laptop via a displayport docking station (via usb) to work in linux? (debian-based distros)
The screen goes bright green when its connected (so guessing its seeing a driver?) but thats all I get.
tried playing with xrandr options but nothing works
(other than switching the laptop screen off or on)
Whatever I try there the dvi monitor just stays the same bright green.
how do I send anything to that monitor?

I'm pretty sure mine didn't work by default, but was able to get it going with arandr.
Also, silly mistake on my part, but the DisplayPort socket was particularly tight on my docking station and I didn't realise I wasn't pushing it all the way in.
