Got it working just fine. How do you calibrate the pen?

Haven't yet gotten around to this.

Anyone from HP out there? Jim Gettys? Keith Packard? What's the chances of
finding out what IO chip pin is controlling the backlight? And what you look
at for the "reboot" button on the side?

For anyone looking for this, Google for "vesafb-tng". It's a kernel patch that
works great.
And the slmodem kernel modem driver worked, and the ALSA snd-intel8x0m one
didn't.
I did have a bit of a problem when I booted back into Windows XP from my Grub
menu: XP overwrote the master boot record! I lost over 4 hours trying to get
the booting to work right.
Have any of you found a good bootable system rescue disk that works on the
TC1000? I don't know if my non-HP CD drive is the problem, but I only was
able to boot from the Debian Sarge netinst disk, and it doesn't have a rescue
mode...
