  1. Did you first try without the docking station to make sure this is even possible with your hardware (1 primary display + 2 external - I suspect maybe some docking stations only support 1 external display?)?

    Does it work in Windows (if you can test that)? If it works without the docking station or in Windows, then you can easier narrow down the problem (conclude that the problem is not software-related)? It's always a good approach to systematically try things out, to narrow down the problem (explain what you've tried and why).
