That's genius. Being a tft that will only show up in movement. Why 
didn't I think of that? I've got mine running at about 70Hz I think.

The problem you might have here is that I think 60Hz is the lowest you 
can go in most settings. Manual config of xorg might do it, but there is 
a strong possibility that the T43 has special BIOS options to do it.
