[Thinkpad] 600 Function Keys

    I got my replacement keyboard installed on the ThinkPad 600 that was
given to me, and all is working fine now. I put a copy of XP Home on it and
downloaded the IBM drivers. Nice little computer -- I can see why more were
sold than any other model ThinkPad.

    There is one nagging detail remaining: The F3 function key does not
turn off the screen. The key itself works -- I tried it at a command
prompt. The screen can be shut off by the software, and does after 10
minutes. There is just no connection between the fn-F3 keystroke and the
software. (F2 and F11 don't seem to do anything either). F4 works fine to
put the machine into standby.

    Does anyone know the magic setting to get this to work? I suspect it's
one of those power control alphabet soup things ACP or ACPI or whatever.
