OK, so there's two issues - sleeping, and monitor changes.<br>
<br>
Clearly when undocked, normal is the laptop screen only / you're able to deal with any monitor combinations you run into, now. (You have any necessary hotkeys in place, etc., etc.)<br>
<br>
What is normal for you when you are docked - 3 screens, 2 monitors + laptop, or just 2 monitors?<br>

Why are you closing the lid when you undock?<br>
<br>
Or, I'll put this another way, if you undock with the lid open, you give the machine a chance to reconfigure the hardware. Then close the lid so it sleeps with the correct monitor configuration. [Reverse when coming back?]<br>
<br>
When you dock (as you were) does restarting X make it all better?<br>
- note, ubuntu (and therefore kubuntu too) have disabled Ctrl-Alt-Bksp as restart X, by default. You will need to reestablish it before you can use that keystroke. [Don't know what that is in Ubuntu.] In kubuntu, once on the right page, the entry is there, just not enabled. When I was there I just checked the box beside the entry and got on with it.<br>

Let's try the other way: If you reboot in the dock, everything is OK on<br>
the external monitors, correct.<br>
<br>
What happens when you removed the laptop from the dock? Black screen on<br>
laptop? If so, try opening the Monitor control before removing from the<br>
dock. You should be able to 1) turn on the laptop screen and 2) turn<br>
off the monitors. Now remove from dock. Do you still have a desktop on<br>
the laptop screen?<br>

That is the problem, all monitors including the laptop lcd are off<br>
(dark)<br>
I am unable to try Lori's sugguestion<br>

That makes sense - if you undock all external monitors would<br>
be shut down.<br>
<br>
Once redocked, if you do as Lori suggests, are you able to<br>
reestablish the external monitors?<br>
<br>
It would also help for the purposes of your testing if you<br>
keep your laptop open. I'm guessing your laptop screen is<br>
still working while your other monitors are dark.<br>

What do you mean by "monitors go crazy"? Do<br>
you get desktop backgrounds<br>
on each monitor?<br>
<br>
Try popping open the<br>
System->Preferences->Monitors (that's the<br>
location<br>
in 10.04) window and see if all three screens<br>
appear as options and if<br>
changes there help.<br>
