Mark, occassionally when I was putting a couple of Duos together I
would get this very same symptom. Sometimes on AC, sometimes in the
dock. A reboot or power manager hit would solve the problem. I have
a feeling that it is related to a dead PRAM battery. I cant prove
that, but since I now have good batts in my duos, the problem has not
resurfaced.
