Interesting... One of those commands Mandrake doesn't see fit to include, 
highly annoying habit they have :(. Like the x-ssh-askpass binary, which they 
also have banished to lala land, GRRRRR. 

Well, anyway, as I expected, on the A20p the 'thinkpad' button doesn't 
generate any kind of events at all. It would be nice... Maybe the nice people 
at IBM will patch the bios to insert a keyboard event for that (I ain't 
holding my breathe, but wouldn't it be kinda nice?).
