[arch-general] Docked Lenovo T540p Not Recognizing Dual Monitors

I unfortunately have a Lenovo T540p laptop and an UltraDock docking station.

Plugged into the docking station is a Lenovo monitor via DVI and an Ilyama
monitor via VGA.

The monitors are not recognised by xrandr as being separate monitors, and
the output mirrors each other.

The output of xrandr -q:

$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 4560 x 1620, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected 2880x1620+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

   800x600       60.32    56.25
   640x480       59.94

DP2 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
255mm x 255mm
   1680x1050     60.00*+
   1024x768      60.00
   800x600       60.32    56.25
   848x480       60.00
   640x480       59.94
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)



eDP1 is my laptop monitor and DP2 is the Lenovo monitor.  Notice the
maximum screen size at the top of the output.  I notice that I have more
screen than I can use - how to set that to actual size as well?

But the burning question is how can I get my VGA monitor to be recognised?
