XF86Config and laptop docking stations

My boss has a Thinkpad 600X running Caldera, and I fixed his XF86Config
file by downloading what I found on the linux laptops web page. It works
fine as a standalone machine, but when he puts it in the docking station,
he can't get X to start. Presumably I need to define a second monitor
definition.

Is it possible to configure X to automatically detect whether the docking
station is there, and switch monitor definitions based on that? If so, how
do I do that?
