IBM ThinkPad X22 Ubuntu 6.10 Tweaking

I have made some adjustments to the configuration of my Thinkpad, I now only see one error in Xorg.0.log, far better than the 20 or so each startup.

In X I removed touchscreen and touchpad support as my thinkpad has neither of them, and they were willing the logs with errors. Next was to disable hardware 3d acceleration rather than allowing X to attempt it, my thinkpad doesn’t have enough graphics memory to use DRI. I also fixed some S3 standby issues with regards to power consumption in the X config and my adding radeonfb to /etc/modules

I also prevented some irrelevant kernel modules from loading things like ACPI drivers for laptops made by other manufacturers, etc.
