    Hi guys!

    I have just received my M17x and got a little problem. If the usb cable to my wireless keyboard is plugged in at boot the laptop start beeping almost at the same moment I turn it on and it beeps like 15 times until it continues as nothing have happened. When logged into windows the keyboard is working just fine. Nothing seems wrong with the usb port since I can plug in my mouse in that port without the beeps at startup. It's just my keyboard (actually fujitsu siemens "mouse and keybaord" receiever) that causes the beeping. I will probably replace that with a better keyboard shortly but anyway, someone had the same experience and have any advise? The beeping is really loud and scares the out of me every time I forgot the plug out the usb cable at boot. :)
