    Undock Action Hibernates Instead of Sleeps, Takes Too Long

    I have a T400, mini dock, Windows 7 x64, and the most up-to-date possible drivers (latest power management and power manager from site). Now, when I set the "undock action" in the Power Manager to "Standby," the computer hibernates. It also hibernates when I set it to "hibernate." I've tried different combinations of settings, always restarting the computer. Basically, I can only hibernate or do nothing on undock, when I used to be able to actually go into standby/sleep mode. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think this MIGHT be related to the updated Power Management driver, but I'm not entirely positive.

    I also noticed that since the hibernate issue began, the undock action also takes an extremely long time till I get the little balloon confirmation or the hibernation takes place. Prior to this problem (and the Power Management update), undocking took about 5 seconds maybe, just enough time for my external HD to stop. Now, it takes at least one full minute, if not more, which I find unacceptable.
