 === ThinkPad keys ===
 ThinkPad keys are handled by a mixture of the thinkpad_acpi, acpi button and acpi dock drivers.
-{{NOTE|Due to Xorg limitations, some keys that cause HAL events work with Xorg (ThinkPad and Fn-F7) and others do not. This is a known limitation that should be fixed with the next major Xorg (v1.7) release.}}

	Fedora 11 uses KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) by default, and this causes problems for now with external displays. Activating mirror mode with an external VGA display has no effect on the external display (no signal). Activating extended desktop, or booting with an external VGA display attached, causes severe corruption on the ThinkPad LCD, while again the VGA display gets no signal.
