Try adding acpi=off (possibly pci=noacpi too) to those bootcodes?

Great! One of those codes did the trick (I added all of them).. not sure which worked, but it worked!
Thanks again for everyone's help...It was probably noapci acpi=off... the 600e was reported to have a buggy bios with acpi.Howdy!
There is another solution. If you install the full xfree86 server extension, you could give this a shot:
Code Sample
xset -dpms
Do note, that with 24/7 use, your TFT's backlight will probably give up in a year or two. It's not very expensive, but it is difficult to both obtain and replace. Another note: couldn't you find a nice old 386 or 486 for the job? You know, a P2 is a terrible thing to waste, IMO.
Regards, bkilThe IBM thinkpad's are nice machines, I will give you that. But, I found a bunch of old ones (taking parts from some to make usable machines). Although.. I have two machines, one with a broken screen, the other with a good screen bad motherboard.... same model number, but the good board won't run the good screen!!
