Problems with Dell Inspiron on docking station.

I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 with QNX 6.1A installed. Everything works fine,
until I plug it into the docking station. Once plugged in, it appears that
every second or third character typed into the system simply disappears.
Also the mouse doesn’t work properly either. The problem also occurs if I
unplug the laptop from the docking station and plug an external mouse into
the back of the system. The only way 6.1A works correctly, is to use the
laptop’s touchpad and keyboard.

Does anyone know of a way to solve this problem? I would like to use the
laptop in my docking station, attached to my ergonomic keyboard and 19"
monitor.

Hi Randy,

Could you please try the updated devi-hirun from developers.qnx.com
and let us know if this helps.

Although I have a feeling that the channel that connects the docking
station to the regular system may be getting in the way.

Thanks

Erick.
