		+	Even with more recent drivers (Ubuntu currently has 8.37.6 in its repositories), video switching is not possible with the ''fglrx'' drivers, at least on the T60p. I do not know if this is a problem with ''fglrx'' or the acpi events (if you view ''/etc/acpi/events/ibm-videobtn'', you will see that it is just a placeholder that does nothing). Has anyone successfully gotten video switching to work with ''fglrx'' under Ubuntu or any other distribution using this version of ''fglrx''?

 For me Fn-F7 is working in console and X (Debian Etch). It stops to work when I run X with mergedFB settings to be able to have 2 displays (which is the way it works in windows by the way). But is working perfectly for the intended use (to have one screen and be able to plug an external cloned screen or projector with the same resolution).

 I have found a solution for switching back to LCD with the Intel Cards on my X40. But it semms a bit strange to me so maybe someone can confirm that it also works on other Thinkpads (mine is a X41) and setups before I edit that wiki entry.

	If i do echo lcd_enable,crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video after enabling crt i get to see the screen on both lcd and crt although scrambled on crt. After executing it the second time i get lcd only. So for now i always execute that command twice.
