D630 + dock + dual external monitors

I have a d630 with a dock, running 2 external LCD monitors (my laptop is closed). Works perfectly fine, as I want it, UNTIL I undock/redock. If I undock, it goes to the LCD on my laptop (as expected) and everything is fine still. The problem comes when I redock. When I redock the laptop (LCD closed), it SWAPS my left and right external monitor. I can easily fix it by going to nVidia Control panel -> Display -> Change Display Configuration to swap it back. But it's very annoying. So, I'm thinking maybe it doesn't like the fact that I have my right monitor as my "main" monitor, that's why it keeps swapping it. But I have a coworker that has the same exact setup and his left monitor is his main monitor and it swaps it the other way whenever he undock/dock. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a new driver I can install that'll fix this issue? Anyone else experiencing the same issue? The laptop has Quadro MVS 135M video card. nVidia control panel shows version 1.4.2.41

dmk11... I do not have a d630, but use a d430. I do not really have an answer for you but some additional info that I believe is closely related.
 
We have many that use the d620 within our organization, so I am certain that the docking/undocking is a real issue with the D series.
 
In any case, no matter the machine, we have problems when undocking and redocking (especially when going to meetings and using a projector) where the display settings are completely changed. It does not matter what you do as the settings change each time to a different setting and reconfiguring the settings is also VERY annoying as well. The video graphic driver and/or card could be the culprit, but so far, there has been little discussion on the matter.

Another coworker has the d800-series (forgot exactly which model it was). and he's having the same problem too. I'm surprised Dell (or someone else) hasn't figured out what the solution is.

Please explain if I can connect TWO Dell external monitors to my Dell Latitude D430. I believe, I can, but not sure if I need to do something special for that.

Thanks
