[ltp] video output on R40

[Niels Stargardt]

Hi Thomas,
I have a similar configuration here R40 Kernel 2.6.9 with acpi-patches so ibm-acpi is there. I guess that you have to disable, that IBM-ACPI create an acpi-event for FN+F7. Then the bios has the control. But it I'm not sure.
Check 
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
Hope this is useful for you
