Some questions to IBM T40

Hi there,

I recently got an IBM ThinkPad T40 and installed 5.2-CURRENT on it.
But there are some little questions i got.

With XFree-4, the DPMS feature seems to not work properly.
For example when typing "xset dpms force off" my former notebook
(compaq armada) turned the display off, but the thinkpad just
blanks. The X configuration is the same (since both notebooks
feature an ATI RAGE graphics card), and Option "DPMS" is
configured.

Then, the T40 provides a builtin Intel wireless hardware
(PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter). So, what's the correct
kernel configuration to be able to use this one, and does the system
respond to the "Fn-F5" key press (enable/disable wireless)?

Despite this, i think i'm quite happy with my T40 :-))


Thanks in advance for any hints :)


With kind regards,

	Frank Altpeter
