3.0r1 on an IBM T20



I recently upgraded my laptop from a 600E to a T20, and I've now installed Debian on it. I have hit a couple of problems that I'm hoping someone can provide some suggestions towards solving.

First, even though I have gpm installed and running, I get no console mouse services. I've tried a number of different settings for protocol, so far haven't had any luck. Can anyone tell me what settings I should have for this machine?

Second, while I have the screen blanking (from either the KDE desktop or XFCE, ite backlight is not being switched off. Idon't recall haveing any problems of this sort with the 600E, so I' wonder what setting I may have missed.

Third, I recently installed Xine to watch DVDs. However, it obviously expects a number of links (/dev/dvd, dev/cdaudio for example) and I've so far found no list of what should be created, or where they should be linked from.
