Description sylvain Tetreault 2008-05-30 21:54:15 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a lenovo X41 laptop. Like every early X series laptop, there is no cd/dvd drive in the laptop itself. Most owner of this kind of machine bought the dock station. Under windows, I can undock safely while the laptop is working because there is a driver for it.

Under linux, the fastest safest way I found is to standby the computer and then undock the computer. Everytime, it wake-up the machine. But for few weeks, I plugged a mouse in the dock. Now, when I undock, even if the machine wake-up, I can't unlock the machine because I need the disconnected mouse to do it. End of story, I should close then reboot my machine while undocking.

To dock the machine, it still work ok if the machine is in standby mode because the wake-up update the hardware.

I know, we are not a lot having a dock station but I don't think it is so difficult to adapt...

Sorry, but KDE is a desktop, it is not responsible for lowlevel hardware handling.
