| − | == IBM UltraBase X3 == | + | === ThinkPad X3 UltraBase (46P7912) === |
| − | The IBM UltraBase X3 is a portable dock for the X30, X31 and X32 ThinkPads providing extra ports as well as a bay for an optical drive and a set of stereo speakers. Containing a full featured [[UltraBay|UltraBay Plus]] slot, it provides flexibility in drive choice as well as the option of a secondary battery for extended working time on the road. The Ultrabase X3 also features a battery slot on the underside that accepts the same battery as your X30 Series ThinkPad. The UltraBase X3 doesn't provide a second docking port as the original [[UltraBase]] did, hence you can't dock the UltraBase to any of the other docking solutions.
| + | This is a proprietary docking station for models with a [[Docking Port|CS00 standard docking port]]. |

| − | The [[UltraBay|UltraBay Plus]] slot in this dock is a full featured one and supports hot swapping with all UltraBay Plus and UltraBay 2000 drives. You can also feed it with the UltraBay Plus battery pack to extend the overall battery life time. However, you can not use the additional battery slot on the Ultrabase if you use the UltraBay Plus battery pack (a plastic pen prevents you).

| − | This can be problematic under Debian, as the default kernel (2.6.18) do not support the IBM docks by default, as the IBM_DOCK and DOCK methods are not compatible. This is not a problem with 2.6.22 for some reason. Under 2.6.18, you need to recompile the Linux kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_IBM_DOCK enabled, and CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK disabled. You also need to hook a few scripts into the acpi events system.

| − | 2.6.22-rc2 actually works without a flaw, without the above modifications, provided that the "bay" and "dock" modules are loaded at boot time.

| − | According to [http://alcopop.org/unix/linux/x40/dock/ this page] you'll have to use this command to undock, since 2.6.18 kernel (after loading the dock module) :
