I've seen some comments on laptop screen blanking and such, but haven't
heard (or don't recall) any mention of laptops not shutting down on
halt. With this kernel-config option under 2.0.33, it works; but not
under 2.1.8[56] - the machine stops, but power stays on & I have to hit
ctrl-alt-del, reboot to .33 & THEN shut-down. I have an HP Omnibook
5500CT, which otherwise seems to do fine with Linux. (I used to get the
'unrecognized device id', but stopped using screen blanking). I'm
running RH5 w/ all the official updates I'm aware of at the moment.

As always: fine work, gentlemen. I need to start saving my $$$ to buy
you gents beer at the Linux Expo in May...
