It's definitely very bleeding edge at the moment, but not as bad as my
T40 had been back when it was new...

The VESA driver works fine for typical 2d apps, and the machine is fast
enough to do fullscreen video without hw acceleration, so it's not too
bad.  I miss my dualhead setup though.

You're right, I should have phrased that differently. Personally, I don't
much care if it's using ACPI or APM as long as it works, and suspend to
disk would be sufficient to avoid constant reboots. Why do you want APM
specifically? I thought it was obsolescent these days.

I think the disk spin up issue on RAM resume sounds fixable, but so far I
haven't seen any updates on the open bugs.
