[ltp] T40p + Kernel 2.6.0

[Hartwig, Thomas]

Hi Brad,

You are a lucky guy. ;-)
However vesa is not very fast but it should work, even if you don't use 
3D support. But suspending still gets down my machine. Can you send me 
the output of your lsmod please.
How did you get the sounddriver work. Did you use the kernel integrated 
once?

Thanks
Thomas
