I think that means the problem is that the ThinkPad is switching to the external monitor (VGA/svideo/whatever)... On a T20, I expect THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO to actually work just fine, especially before the X server runs. So you can use that to force output to the LCD... Or check in the BIOS setup, maybe there is something there that lets you tell it that you ALWAYS want the internal LCD active, etc. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
