Never mind, i remove the IBM drivers and installed the Omega and it's perfect, no more blue screens from time to time.

I didn't notice a benefit on my T40, and wound up reinstalling the IBM drivers...

I switched over to "Mobility Modded" drivers (same idea as Omega drivers, i.e. more recent ATI drivers hacked to be installable for 'non-supported' graphics cards) on my A31p a few years ago, and loved it.

The biggest bonus for me was ATI's "theatre mode" feature which allows the laptop to be doing one thing, and a video that's playing in the backgroundto be full-screen on a secondary monitor.
