(Don't) try this simple test: In an xdm (or some other window manager perhaps) window, do $ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/video Voila. The screen goes black, the keyboard becomes useless, and even the # (sleep 44; reboot) job you had running on tty1 never completes. I.e., the system is rendered inoperable. The only thing you can do at this point is hold down the power button until vrrrr... it powers down. Then power back up and let it recover its ext3 journals etc. Notes: you have to run this experiment in xwindows. Doing it on tty1 just prints a few lines of text.
