[ltp] SuSE 8.2 on Thinkpad T40p

[Pam Huntley]

If you add 'acpi=off' to the boot line it will use the apm code instead of
acpi, which is rather broken.  That way you can at least have basic suspend
and resume support, although sometimes I have problems with apm under Linux
too.

I recently got a new toy too, and installed SuSE 8.2 on it.  I've submitted
a page to linux-laptop.net, but that may take a while to appear.  In case
it helps anyone, I've put my notes online at
www.pobox.com/~vgough/suse-t40p.html

Besides my 802.11a/b card not working, the only other real problem is that
power management doesn't work.  2.4.20 (heavily patched by SuSE), and stock
2.4.21-rc2 ACPI both cause my laptop to hang when it suspends.

cheers,
