Very sorry to follow up to my own post but this may be helpful to anyone who has
a similar problem. I found out what was wrong: I was following the advice
available at www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop. This covers the
400CDT but not the 4000CDT. You are advised to compile the kernel with Advanced
Power Management. If you do this the Fn key causes the lockup.
