Thinkpad T20 and sound

Recently I posted some messages on this list and others about problems with getting sound going on a Thinkpad T20. The problem is now solved, with kernel 2.4.0-test10 the module "cs46xx" works correctly and sound is fine! In 2.4.0-test9 the sound didn't work. I have quickly inspected the diff

I've recently started having a problem with my Thinkpad T20 where the screen goes black. It will happen while I'm working at seemingly random periods. Any new text or graphics that is displayed (in text mode or X) will appear as normal, and changing VT's will result in all text being correct.
