I have a laptop that are often connected to a dockingstation and an external
monitor.

I am not particulary good at Linux but I have set up my XF86Config file with
two "monitors" and two "screens". This apears to be working, not good but
good enough for time beeing. When i reboot the computer I think it chooses
the screen I want it to depending on which monitor is in use. (Is there a
comand to check wich X settings are actually in use???).

The real problems occur when I only suspend the computer and then retart it
with the other monitor plugged in. Then it keeps trying to use the same old
settings on the new monitor.

I can take it to runlevel 3 and back up to 5, this apears to solve the
problem from time to time but that is only a little better then rebooting
the computer completley. Is it posible to only reinit the xserver with a new
XF86Config? (or in this case actually the same file but to force it to
choose the new settings)? Preffereably without restarting the running
applications. As a similar side question, is it possible to reboot the
systems related to the network after I have made changes there?

I am running a Redhad enterprise derivate but I am not sure how do check
wich x version I am running.
