3008WFP and D/Dock
Is anyone successfully using a 3008WFP monitor at full resolution, driven by a D/Dock docking station with an add-in PCI card? (Or using a 3008WFP with a D/Dock at all?)
Trying to find out if this is possible using a Latitude D620.
Clearly, no Latitude with any graphics chip will drive the monitor at full res, but does anyone know of any PCI cards that will run Dual Link DVI and the full 2560 x 1600 resolution?

I 'm using the 3008WFP together with an M90 in a d-dock, with a dual-link dvi video card in the d-docks' PCI slot. My 3008WFP still gets no better than 1920 x 1440. I've yet to get a clear answer on why from Dell. One story was that it would work with a different video card than what I have in the PCI slot, which is a Visiontex Radeon X1300. Spec sheets from the manufacturer says that it supports 2560x1600. Dell sales said the same thing when they sold it to me. Dell tech support says both sales and manufactuer's spec's are wrong and that I should get a new card.
Same tech also said that I'd never get better than 1920x1440 out of the d-dock, even with a PCI card that supports more. But then he changed his mind and said that the PCI card would take precedence over the internal video card. Still, that makes me wonder if the d-dock itself somehow limits or overides the PCI card.
