yes, LCD blanking while using X seems to work fine...

if i perform 'shutdown -h now' from the black text/white background 
console, the unit reboots to WinCE...

also, upon 'shutdown -r now' from the white text/black background, the 
audio0 device is not reported... i also tried using mknod to create the 
sound/0, audio/0, mixer/0, and audioctl/0 devices (major number 47 and 0, 
128, 16, and 192, right?)... but cannot seem to play sound and get:

"device not configured"...

ah well... the LCD blanking *and* trackpoint support is still good! (i can 
work around the shutdown problems)...
