This issue seems to be caused by the legacy ports (parallel and serial) on the dock. You can work around this by disabling the legacy ports in the BIOS: Config -> Docking Station -> Legacy Devices on Mini-Dock Note: This wont help if you put your system into standby. After resuming your system will be affected again (tested with ubuntu 10.10).
