Do YOU have a triple display (3 monitors or more) on a T4x?

I know this topic keeps coming up, but I still don't see a definitive answer...

Do YOU have three or more monitors (including internal display) attached to your Thinkpad T4x? I have a T42, and have tried running 2 external plus internal display with the Dock II, and always seem to get driver conflicts of one sort or another. (The best I can do is two external displays with internal display off.) So, if you have this working, PLEASE describe how you did it! (And please, no advice about using a Matrox DualHead - it won't drive the external monitors at a high enough resolution or refresh rate.)

You don't say which resolution the monitors should be able to produce?
I entered a solution for somebody in this theme:

I run three displays (including internal) at my office. I have a minidock and have one display attached as well as another display run through another computer as a slave display (via a program called MaxiVista). So essentially, I have a dual display setup running with a second computer and it's display next to it set up to act as an extended desktop. You can check out MaxiVista at http://www.maxivista.com/

I think the best solution would be either Matrox's Dualhead2go or a PCMCIA graphics adapter like the VTBook.

andyP, I currently have two VGA outs at 1920x1200, 85Hz, and wish to add a 1600x1200 display, either digital (preferred) or analog @ 85Hz or higher.

The VTBook solution looks like it might work (though only on digital - the analog out refresh rate is too low at that resolution at 60Hz)
