Hi
I have a W510 in a dock, but it cant drive 2xVGA monitors. I have one plugged in to the laptop and one to the dock. However its only the one on the dock that works.

Its a older dell with 1200x1025 and a Thinkvision L2230x with 1900x1080. Is it possible to use both displays at once?

Best regards

You can certainly drive two monitors, but not both through VGA. Because the VGA port on the dock just replaces the one on the chassis. They cannot be used simultaneously. But you can use the VGA on the dock in conjunction with one of the DVI/DisplayPort.
