3 Display Configuration

I have a Dell Preciison M90 Laptop with Windows XP Pro(video card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M). I also have two other LCD monitors: A Dell 1908FP and Dell 1905FP. I'd like to set up the system so it will have the 3 monitors(1 laptop, 2 lcd monitors) side by side and configured seamlessly across. The laptop has a docking station, which is where both of the monitors are plugged into(one VGA, one DVI). For some reason though, I can't seem to get more than 2 monitors(any combination) to work. Is there something special to do, or will this not work? Thanks!

 
Well since no one else has replied yet, I would take a guess as to say "no you can't run 3 displays off the one video card".. no matter how many ports there are..
I believe most graphics chips are only designed to run 2 displays at once..
 
If you have the Dell Advanced Port Replicator, I'm pretty sure you are out of luck.

If it's the D/Dock, you MIGHT be able to use both of the two monitor outputs on it alongside a 2nd display adapter in the D/Dock's PCI slot.

Neither solution will allow you to use the laptop screen as the third display.
