I'm trying to use an external monitor with my docking station to extend my desktop but I can't get it to work.
I'm using the intel HD video card and I already followed thoses guide

mkinitcpio -p linux
reboot
The output of xrandr -q is VGA1 disconnected even if it's plugged in the dock or the laptop itself.
Do you guys have any clues?
thanks

Did you try without the xorg configuration? I'm not using a docking station but when I plugged an external vga into my thinkpad, it just found it automagically.

What happens if you try detecting monitors using hotkey combination (fn-whateverkey)?

I just tryed without the xorg configuration and xrandr -q still doesn't detect my monitor, same thing with the fn-f7 wich is the monitor hotkey.. I tryed both with and without the docking station!

Have you looked for log messages? "It doesn't detect my monitor" isn't much to go on...

I'm not sure what log message I should look at. I already looked at the Xorg log

Reading your Xorg log:

[ 185.149] (II) intel(0): found backlight control interface /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1

.....................
[ 185.151] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 disconnected
When I was playing with Xorg I had several problems. One was that just xorg.conf was used, and none files in xorg.conf.d. I don't know why.
I've forget almost everything. But perhaps this link can be useful.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132381
I would try use:
xrandr --output VGA1 --on

I already looked at that link and I just tried what you suggested xrandr --output VGA1 --on and it didn't work either.

I'm no a expert so don't do what I say.
It looks like how your files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ there aren't read.
Yes, it says "I'm using" but it isn't because it use "Device0"

[ 184.980] (**) | |-->Monitor "Monitor0"

I had the same problem, then I used /etc/X11/xorg.conf
BEWARE, because a error make your screen black. And you will need change that file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf).
It would be possible if you start in console without X, or have a usb distro to get that file and change it.
From here, try the most easy configuration, and test if the changes work.
Update: A link.

Have you looked into using default xorg settings and using xrandr to specify desktop?
