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)...
