Hi Niel.
I don't need a cutom dsdt since two month. It seems that IBM has released a 
bios with a correct dsdt. (a wonder ...)
The fgl_glxgears problem seems to exists in combination with Xfree. There 
seems to be no problems with Xorg. (Mario in this list has also no problems)
Yes. The high power consumption goes away with restarting X, but not 
completely. Without restart I need approximate 8W more power. With restarting 
I need still 2W more power. Can you check this ?
