so I guess the path here is the usual drill to knock Lenovo's or IBM's
door and see if they are willing to share their know-how on this

I wish there were more x40 linux users interested, this model has been
around for a bit more than a year and it's not very common that people
install Linux on it
---> useless fit start
so much for IBM's motto "Future is open"

who wants to kick a xSeries now? I do!
---> useless fit end
