[ltp] ACPI + A21m Thinkpad

[Tom Allison]

Greetings!

I'm trying to configure an A21m thinkpad to work with ACPI instead of APM.
According to all the information in the /proc/acpi... (I forget the rest) I 
do have all kinds of wonderful support for ACPI and should really require APM 
anymore.

Almost.  Well, not really.

Things that I would expect it to put to sleep (closing the lid, hitting the 
Fn buttons accordingly) have no effect on the state of this notebook.

I'm using Suse 8.2 if anyone asks.  But I think that the information I need 
is much more generic than a specific distribution.

The ACPI information I've been able to pull up on so far indicates that this 
should work just fine, at least it's supported.

The other area that I'm more concerned with is the PCMCIA interaction with 
power management.  I have had a variety of configurations on this notebook 
and only a few of them have worked successfully with disabling the PCMCIA 
cards when suspending/sleeping.
