Adam,

Thanks for the links! Sounds like I just have to live with it. The 'beep' can indeed be disabled, but the 'n' th character will still not display until you take your fingers off one of the other keys. Kind of lame in my mind, but I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Sorry to hear that ! Sounds like we are going to have to live with it... sure would be nice to find a work around though! Got three beeps just tying this post

o+u+l is another combo

nada on the key repeat rate. i tried changing delay and repeat to no avail. the other thing that stinks is when you get the beep, it doesn't print the character that caused the beep. in other words, you don't get the 'n' on o+u+n.

no programs that i've installed... this happens straight out of the box. i'm not a really fast typist, i just notice it most when i type 'sound' and 'country' without lifting my fingers from the keys. as noted in my earlier post, there are other combinations that do the same thing, such as 'a+s+d+f+...

Hmm.... my desktop machine doesn't do this, and the number of keys is not consistent... for instance, it won't beep on a+s+d+f but if you add a 'g' it will. If one is a fast typer, this is rather annoying.

Haven't figured this one out yet... if you hold down the O+U+N keys together you get a loud "system/bios" speaker beep. It seems to happend with other key combinations as well. I've disabled the accessibility options, but still no luck. Anyone out there know how to disable this?

No Problemo. I purchased mine on 12/1 and received it on 12/21. At the time of purchase, they offered the x4 dock at no additional cost. Make sure you add the lappy to your cart and then click on the 'add options' button in the cart. From there, you should see a drop-down list of the current promoti...

Hi, I've got the 2371-H9U with the dock and CD combo drive. Here are some of my observations: 1. The IBM a/b/g card based on the new Atheros II card is awesome. The range on that card is better than the Cisco stuff I use at work. 2. If you are a student/faculty/alumni you can get this unit for a goo...

OK, so I'm an idiot.... the thought never occured to me that the IBM Access Connections software would automatically try and connect to each one of your profiles unitl it found one that worked!

duh

Does anyone know if it's possible to have two SSID's associated with a single IBM Access Connections profile? This can be done with WinXP Zero Config for wireless, but I'm not seeing a way to do it with the IBM software. Any help would be greatly appreciated, TIA!

Scott

did you ever find a resolution for this? i have a new X40 and it is starting to do the same thing!

What about this one... ??

Maybe not, doesn't seem like I can find it anywhere...

Yes, I've got the X4 UltraBase with an integrated CD-RW/DVD drive... Here's a picture of what it looks like.

Thanks folks, I really appreciate the help!!

I can't wait for my new lappy I'll be sure to post a mini review for the Holidays!

X40 (2371-H9U) w/ 1GB RAM
X4 Ultrabase Dock
CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive

Expected Ship Date: 12/14

I've got an X40 on the way from IBM and I need your help! I want to order a shaggymac micro-suede cloth and have it here when the lappy arrives, but I need some kind soul to measure their X40 for me using the following guidelines:

Measuring Guidelines

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anybody else out there that carry's their X4 dock with the X40? If so, what are you using?

bump

if your X40 came with 256 MB of RAM, then the max RAM capacity is 256+1024 = 1280. If your X40 came with 512 MB of RAM, then the max RAM capacity is 512 + 1024 = 1536. The base amount of RAM (256 or 512) is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be changed/removed, but there is a single SO-DIMM slot...

I have read several posts from people requesting bag recommendations for their X40, but they don't seem to be from people that take their X4 docks with them. I would like to here what people use to carry their X40 and their X4 dock. I'm most interested in top loading bags, but might entertain a back...

I'm assuming it's possible to purchase one of the new Atheros AR5004X (a/b/g) mini PCI cards to replace the Intel 2100 that's in this laptop?

Probably not worth mentioning, but....
I seem to remeber reading a thread here that compared the Fire GL to the MR9600. The MR9600 seemed to do better than the Fire GL stuff... even with half the memory. Nothing earth shattering, but something to consider if you are a gamer.

Well, I am down to: 1.) X40 2386E9U, 1.40 Dothan, Wireless B/G or: 2.) X31 26735KU, 1,70 Banias, Wireless B (upgraded to Wireless G). The X31 costs about $400+ more than the X40 unit, so I am inclined to go with the X40. The only thing holding me back is the slow 4200rpm hard drive. If I go for an ...

I guess it really does come with the base...

OK, now I'm confused... The X40 I am looking at (2382HCU) has a CD-RW/DVD combo drive listed with it. But, it I go under the 'customize' section on IBM's site, I see "Optional X4 Ultrabase Dock" listed under the accesories section... So, does the 2382HCU come with the dock, or not?
