You may or may not need to enable Xinerama, too. I'm not
sure, I've never managed to get this approach to work on my
x40.

When you press Fn+F7, do you get anything added to
/var/log/acpid ?

Is the module ibm_acpi loaded? Does /proc/acpi exist? if you
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/video, what does it contain (before and
after trying to switch video)? Is there anything added to
the output of 'dmesg' after trying to echo video_switch?
