New X1 Carbon 2014 + Onelink Pro dock + 30inch monitor: no native resolution

X1 Carbon 2014 model
Onelink Pro dock
Dell U3011 30 inch monitor (native resolution: 2560x1600), connected to displayport on Onelink pro dock
Installed Ubuntu 14.04 (beta)
Max resolution on U3011 I can get is 1920x1440 right now.
Tried on Win 8.1 pro (dual boot), works perfectly.
Tried the mini displayport on X1, works perfectly as well.
Any pointers?

> the X1 Carbon Gen 2 with windows 8 doesn't have custom charge threshold option.
Assuming the OP is using Win8. Some X12C models ship with Win7 or are "down"gradable to it.

  • Windows 10 cannot find Onelink Pro Display Port Monitor

    I just upgraded to windows 10 pro, and cannot make my HP ZR30w  monitor work with onelink pro. I have tried hard, but no luck. Does anyone succeed similar configuration with windows 10? System: TP Carbon 2014 + onelink pro + HP ZR30w (2560x1600) on display port.Phenomena: The monitor showed bios info and the first few seconds of windows booting info, than goes to sleep. The monitor cannot be found in windows 10 (of course I was using the LCD screen or another screen). Other info: 1. I have another onelink pro connected with a Samsung TV (1920x1080) on DVI port, that worked fine.2. The HP monitor worked fine in windows 7 with the same hardware configuration. Nothing has been touched besides the OS.3. If I connect the HP monitor directly to the mini DP port on the machine, which worked fine.4. I tried to wake the monitor while windows 10 was running, but windows 10 cannot find it and the monitor go to sleep in a few seconds.5. All software are up-to-date (Intel monitor driver). It's quite annoying, any suggestion will be appreciated.

    The HP ZR24w works on the Onelink DP port, so it's not the port problem. More likely it's the compatibility problem between HP ZR30w - Onelink Pro. It's wired, since the ZR30w is working when corrected directly to the thinkpad.

  • Has anyone been able to plug in a backlit keyboard to the ThinkPad OneLink Pro Dock (4X10E52935)?

    I use the logitech iluminated keyboard K740 and it claims not to support being plugged into to docking stations.
    Has anyone succesfully connected the k740 to the OneLink Pro Dock?  
    Or alternatively, has anyone connected any other illuminated keyboard to the OneLink Pro Dock?
    Solved!

    In case anyone else has this question - we have a few OneLink Pro docks, with X1 Carbon G2s.  Works generally well.  We are having an intermittant issue though that may be related, and is what brings me to the boards today.  We are getting USB devices being unable to be used due to "USB Hub Power Exceeded" errors, which leads up having to plug the offending device into the laptop directly, until a reboot or misc repluggings fixes it.  It tends to be the keyboard having this issue - K740 and Bloomberg Keyboard 4 (the new black one).  Haven't found a satisfactory fix yet.

  • New X1 carbon (2014) - NOT a productivity tool any more

    I was a big fan of thinkpad X-serie and owned 8 or 9 of them.
    Purchases nx1c and thought that it'll be my baby for next two years, but now I am thinking to return it since I buy it for work, not to use as an iPad.
    Below are some pain points, and hopefully the New New X1 carbon will get right on them.
    1. Adaptive keyboard seems to be fancy idea, but works horrible
    (1) Delay introduced by switching keyboard layouts to perform some common tasks
    - e.g. F2 to rename/F5 to refresh/Alt+F4 to close/...
    - e.g. F5/F7/F9/F10/F11/F12 in coding with visual studio
    - e.g. Snipping tool is only available in browser mode, but I need it somewhere else
    (2) Delay introduced by the easiness to misclick
    - e.g. during debugging, need frequently click F10/F11/etc.. Without looking down, I can't make sure I clicked the right key, and I have to be carefully not swiped over the next key which sometimes mean I have to do the whole thing over
    (3) No way to program or delete certain layouts
    - I am not a meeting guy, may I remove the web conference layout for fast-switching between modes?
    - Snipping tool is really too limited, and I want program it call original PrintScreen, but there's NO way
    - Some features are there just for being "fancy", like swiping before webcam to go prev/next page, really wish I can replace them but again, NO way
    2. An epic fail in the keyboard change.
    I am okay to put some time to get use to some minor changes, but big changes (HOME/END at left), removing some commonly used keys (PrintScreen, Break, Insert), that's too much.
    3. TrackPoint without physical buttons are far less convenient. When using TrackPoint, single tap on touchpad to click doesn't work, seems by design - but a bad one.
    4. Touchpad: tap with the side of thumb will easily move the mouse cursor upwards and away from the original target position.
    5. Windows8 displays horribly in high dpi
    6. The power adapter for old thinkpads doesn't work with nx1c, but no adapter tips are available
    7. 9 hours? I got slightly over 5 hours max.
    In short, the designer goes too far to make nx1c slim and fancy, and now it is not a productivity tool anymore.
    Solved!

    I can't really share any of the complaints.
    Compared to my T430s this is just the machine I was looking for. Although I tweaked the T430s into a dual SSD machine (getting rid of a useless CD/DVD combo) I was looking for something slimmer and lighter. The X1 Carbon has a wopping 500G SSD (more than the dual I had) has a far better screen (the T430s has horrible viewing angles and colarization due to the TFT) the IPS is so much better. I don't see any bleed on the side of the screen either. 
    The X1 shaves off 500g, and is much tinner (but has less ports). The one thing I liked, very much, on the T430 are the connection at the back instead of front, but I think I can live with the power plug sticking out at the left side, although that is were my mouse is. 
    No; I pretty happe with the Fedora 20 on my X1

  • Pro Dock Remote Desktop Connection

    I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (20A8S0450X) that uses a ThinkPad OneLink Pro Dock (4X10E52950) to drive two external monitors.  Therefore, in normal operation, I have 3 screens visible.  The main display is set to one of the external monitors.
    I often use a separate PC and use Remote Desktop Connection to access the laptop above.  When I finish the session after a period of time, and return to the laptop, the screens are all blank and will not reactivate.  Unplugging the docking station from the laptop does not resolve the issue as the laptop monitor remains blank.  I therefore have to perform a hard reset to reboot the laptop to continue using it.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Is anyone able to assist with a resoltuion to this issue?
    Thanks in advance

  • E540 and the OneLink Pro

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a new E540 and OneLink Pro and cannot get the DisplayPort or DVI port to work with my external monitors?
    I have tested the monitors and the cables and all works perfectly with my old docking solution(Dell E5530)
    I have checked the forums and the net and have found out that the Yoga users required a new BIOS to fix similar issues and have seen that there are fixes out for docks like so;

    Could someone please raise the issue with the engineering teams that these issues are also appearing on the E540 and not just the Yoga.
    Thank you

    Lenovo replaced the dock, still no luck. The laptop monitor flashes black and I can hear Windows connecting and disconnecting a device.
    My laptop screen only returns once I have disconnected the external monitor from the dock
    For the love of God, has anyone got a e440 or e540 to work with the one link pro
    If not I will be requesting new hardware from Lenovo which gives me a laptop and a dock
    Please help or fix the problem via a bios update or firmware update for the dock

  • 2014 X1 Carbon + OneLink Pro has difficulties with dual monitors

    I just got a new 2014 X1 Carbon maxed out. I also got a new OneLink Pro Hub. Everything is connected using the stock power supplies that came with the device. All drivers and firmware are current. All software that came with the system is still in place and is active. (So please take this all into consideration when suggesting what I try next)
    I have two LG Flatron E2442TC displays attached to the OneLink Pro. One is attached via the DisplayPort and one is attached vis the DVI->VGA adaptor that came with the OneLink Pro.
    I am running Windows 8.1 as came installed with my computer along with some Intel Display Management software that came installed.
    The problem is, I can only sporadically get this configuration to work. My computer can see both E2442 displays. However, when I try to connect to these displays, I get the brilliantly informative message "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings."
    It seems that I can get the VGA setting working on its own. But when I add the screen connected via the DisplayPort, things don't work quite right. (but occasionally they will)
    The unusual problem is that the E2442's resolution seems to be fixed to the same resolution of my main display on the laptop (2560x1440) which the E2442 cannot handle. But I cannot change the resolution - the drop down is locked.
    I have also tried to use the Intel display applets rather than the Windows screen resolution control panel applet, but that software is so poorly designed that it can't even specify more than two displays and most of the time is unresponsive. (I would love it if I could rid myself of this crapware -- it's not a well designed piece of software)
    Is there any solution to this problem? This $2,800 computer system should just work -- I'm wasting days of valuable time with this issue.

    I have continued to try and resolve this problem.
    I removed the VGA cable and DVI-D->VGA adaptor and put in a DVI-D to DVI-D cable to my monitor. So now I have one monitor going DVI-D to DVI-D and the other going DVI-D to Displayport -- both onto the one link pro.
    The system continues to struggle with this. Right now, both displays are working -- but I've had this situation in the past too. It struggled through numerous reboots before it would let me connect both monitors. I was able to connect the DVI-D to DVI-D monitor fairly quickly, but the DVI-D to DisplayPort monitor took a few more tries and initially came up at 680x480 resolution which it said was the best that was supported. After a reboot, it finally let me set both monitors to the max of 1920x1440. 
    But, as I said before, I've been here before. The computer just seems to struggle to figure out what the monitors are capable of supporting. When I try and connect to them, it seems that it works 50% of the time and really badly fails the other 50%. Once I can't connect, it will take me hours of trying before I can connect again. 
    This just isn't good enough. Today, when I was explaining that I bought a new Lenovo laptop, a colleague rolled his eyes. It's hard to defend my choice when it doesn't work well.

  • Best way to transfer from mid 2012 macbook pro retina to new mid 2014 macbook pro

    I'm updating to a new 2014 macbook pro.  am i better off using a migration assistant from one to another, or restoring from Time Machine (with ethernet to thunderbolt adapter)?  Or some other method?
    thanks,

    I have used the Setup Assistant during setup of OS X and I would use a current Time Machine back up to point to during Setup Assistant. I have also manually copied data and apps over from another Mac while on my network. Both take some time and both were equally successful.
    So, you have a choice after backing up your current Mac:
    Have both Macs on your network, run setup on your new Mac and afterwards manually copy files from the old to the new Mac.
    Run setup on your new Mac and use the Setup Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine back up all your user accounts, data and settings.
    Question on a similar line except I wanted to partition the drive that came on the new Mid 2014 MBPro (2.8 GHz, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM).  Migrating from the old computer b/u seems pretty straight forward, but once the drive that come with the new MBPro is partitioned an install of OS X needs to be done.  Here's what I did, I installed the Mavericks I had purchased from the App Store when it came out.  Now, from reading here in the Communities, some have indicated the shipped Mavericks version is not the same as the App Store version.  Now that the shipped Mavericks is history (after the partitioning) should I try somehow to restore that from the Recovery HD/process?  Or ???
    This isn't my first rodeo, so I just went full speed ahead and did the partitioning and copied the former MBPro (early 2011) disk created by Carbon Copy Cloner over to the new boot partition.  It was suggested that an Erase and Install OS X could be done, but I don't see how that would bring the shipped Mavericks version for this new MBPro, unless the Recovery HD suite of utilities would go and grab that from Apple via Internet; which would be fairly lengthy since it would be via Internet connection.
    I'll back up a bit here for a second... I"m not experiencing any problems (kernel panics, etc.) but not sure if the system now is as it should be.  Hindsight being what it is I should have made a CCC copy of the shipped volume of Mavericks; if this is an issue. 
    The system seems to be running fine, and some of my "issues" (for lack of a better term) could be just the way the new Mid 2014 MBPro is handling things - like memory allocation (i.e. using close to the 16 GB most of the time) and kernel_task using 1 GB of memory - more at times).  Possibly if I wasn't a regular watcher of Activity Monitor I would just be plodding along, since the system seems to be working fine.  Occasionally some apps or their processes take a longer than I feel is what should be normal to do, hence looking at the Activity Monitor to see what is going on.
    Sorry for the long ramble.  Trying to see if I really have a problem that would necessitate a reinstall of Mavericks via Recovery HD; which could take up some valuable computer work time (which I'm also using posting here <grin>).
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggesting, etc.  Also, to the person who posted to my other question on this another thanks for those suggestions.  None of which I've done - yet.
    Take care all - and thank you again for  all the great minds who make these Community Boards work.

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

  • Received X1 Carbon (2014/"New") model 20A70035US but missing MultiTouch!

    I purchased a 20A70035US TopSeller ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2014 about a month ago.  It just arrived today as supply was very tight on it.  The unit looks great, but the MultiTouch display, which is documented in PSREF, and was also in the description of the product with the reseller I bought it from, is missing.  Touching the screen does nothing, and Windows reports no touch input device.  The laptop is a bit lighter than I was expecting too, leading me to believe MT is physically absent.
    I have a T440s already so I know how MultiTouch is supposed to work!  I ran System Update to make sure no drivers were missing, and it found nothing for the display.
    Could Lenovo really have shipped a TopSeller model with the WRONG display?!  I desperately need to get this laptop into the field and as it stands now, I have a useless machine in front of me.  GRRR.
    Current: ThinkPad Tablet 2 | 64GB // ThinkPad T440s | i7-4600U | 12GB | 512GB SSD | FHD MT
    Previous: ThinkPad T420s // ThinkPad T410s

    My reseller was able to secure stock of the i7 model for me (20A70035US), so I bought that one instead and will return the i5 model for a refund.  I am just waiting for RMA approval from Lenovo so it can be sent back for processing.
    The i7 unit I received looks great and the touchscreen works!

    How do I migrate from a 2008 MacBook Pro without a video screen to a 2014 Macbook Pro?

    Use your backup drive instead. No backup drive, then get a monitor and connect it to your computer. Or take the whole shebang to the Apple Store for help with the transfer. Or you can remove the drive from the old MBP and put it in an external enclosure.

  • X1 Carbon 2014 - Unable to connect to Juniper (Junos) VPN

    Hi, 
    today I finally received my new X1 Carbon.
    I have almost set it up, but have stumbled upon a rather peculiar issue: I am unable to connect to a Junos VPN-server. I am using the built-in Junos VPN-plugin from Windows 8.1 (accessible from the Modern UI Network settings by adding a VPN there). When trying to connect I immediately receive an error message referring to ID "0x800700A1" - path not found. That message is given even before being asked for username or password. The VPN-plugin outputs no events at all to Windows event log (even though it should add such information even when it does not find the server or there is a username mismatch).
    Since I am successfully using the exact same configuration on both an MS Surface (non pro) and a Windows 8.1 Desktop computer, I am 100% certain there must be some strange network-meddling on the Lenovo system (e.g. by one of Lenovo's apps). Specifically I fear there is some system file missing or replaced.
    I am able to connect using Junipers proprietary software (the "Junos Client"), however that program causes occassional problems on my other computers and is thus not my favorite solution (especially since the built-in VPN can be set to auto-activate whenever a certain IP is called upon and change Proxies on the fly, neither of which is possible with Junipers tool).
    Any ideas what might cause this (or what Lenovo app I should uninstall)?
    Thanks for any help in advance,
    Michael

  • X1 Carbon 2014 Function keys not working in windows7

    Hello.
    I have a brand new X1 carbon(model: 20A7-005KMD) that was installed with our company image, running windows 7.
    Alle drivers in device manager has been installed, and system update is updated.
    The carbon has the "touch" function keys and they only partly work.
     When booting the computer i can swap between the different functions, but when i get into windows, its is "stuck" with only the options F1-F12. The F keys work, but i cant change settings by pressing the FN key on the left side og the touch display, and get sounds/brightness settings etc.
    as said, this works just fine during the boot.
    Any ideas what can be causing this and even more important - a fix?

    Hi Guys,
    We are currently having the same issue on the X1 Carbon 20A7 models (20A7000LAU). In BIOS or during boot the function changing works without issue (limited to two (2) function screens how-ever), it stops working once you log in. If you then lock the computer you can change the functions, but then once you unlock the device, it stops working.
    When the drivers are installed and the device is restart we get the above behaviour, if we uninstall the drivers the function keys will function as expected till the device is restarted. This is very strange behaviour.
    On a device received by Lenovo there are 4 function changes/screens in total, we can only make two work temporarily as listed above. We have tried the following.
    1. MDT 2013 Delivered Windows 8.1 x64 image image. All drivers/software components installed from the lenovo website. We receive above issue and cannot resolve by uninstall/reinstalling.
    2. Vanilla Windows 8.1 ENT x64 image installed from Microsoft Volume Licensing portal, installed all drivers supplied from the Lenovo Website. The same behaviour is seen as above and is reproducable.
    3. We have als compared all drivers/software installed on the factory supplied model to a manually built device, still the above behaviour is witnessed.
    4. We have manually exported drivers from the X1 Carbon device from lenovo and injected them into the vanilla Windows 8.1 ENT or PRO newly imaged device, still the same behaviour above.
    Please let me know what I'm missing, I'm certain this is a bug in the drivers for this model.
    Regards,
    Nic
