I run 64bit 9.04, with docking station & external monitor at work, just laptop at home.  I typically go through suspend 
when going from work to home.  Stability is fine, though I get a freeze periodically (~ once a week, though it happened 
twice this week).  Your X conf needs to have a virtual display large enough to hold both the desktop and laptop display, 
or at least that's what's worked best for me.  When I come out of suspend at home/out of dock, I often have to type my 
password, then close/open the lid, before seeing any display; and in this mode, the windows show up on the edge of the 
screen, I have to right click->move them in to view.  In dock, I need to open lid & type password, then set screen 
resolution to turn on external display.

Probably more info than you wanted, but maybe I'm hoping somebody will give me a better procedure for switching.  I 
suspect I could do some xorg.conf magic to make display switching work w/o the manual changes.
