One point in particular: I have a docking station, but I've never been

Which video out in which "docking station"? We have various Dell Latitude

stations that have 3 output connectors DisplayPort, DVI, VGA), but even on Windows,
only the VGA and DVI ever worked, and DVI was problematic. I assumed
