Lenovo Thinkpad X300 docking problem

november 21, 2008 | Posted by admin

Problem:
When you connect your x300 to the docking station (DisplayLink) and use an external monitor you get a really slow response time and the computer feels slow and non-responsive at times.

Solution:
Do not use the VGA port on the docking station. Connect the external monitor to the VGA port on the X300 directly instead. Much more responsive and faster graphics.

Problem:
When connecting an ethernet connection to the usb ethernet port adapter, you dont get more than 100 mbit. The USB adapter does not support it.

Solution:
To get more than 100 mbit, use the network port on the x300 directly instead.

This kindof eliminates the use of the docking station doesnt it? Well, not exactly, its still possible to connect several usb units to the docking station like a mouse, keyboard and memory card readers.
