Yep, got the same problem, seems to be a pci quirck since hotdocking
doesn't get the busses from the dock known to the kernel. If you boot in
the dock (cold) up till runlevel 3 all is fine; the busses from the dock
are recognised, but as soon as you fireup X all locks up again.....

I just completed installation of RH7.2 on my T23. I followed the advice from
http://www.math.uakron.edu/~chad/linux_t23.html on installing the S3
driver for XFree 4.1. Things seemed to be working fine...until I went to work
and booted with the Thinkpad in the dock. Starting X causes a blank screen
that won't do anything (except Ctl-Alt-Del).
My bios setting is to use the onboard (AGP) video, regardless of the video
card in the dock (there isn't one, anyway). The monitor is a ViewSonic PT813,
which works fine when I just plug it into the back of the Thinkpad. I did NOT
have this problem with Mandrake 8 - but I was using the generic (framebuffer)
driver, not the S3 driver.
Is anyone using a T-series with a dock?
Anyone have any idea what the incompatiability might be?
TIA,
Chris
