[ltp] ACPI on less recent ThinkPads?

I use acpi with an X20 but haven't done much testing yet. It's on my 
(very long) x-mas holidays TODO list.

I found it to work even better. With the standard 2.4 Kernel (Debian, 
Sarge, net isntall) when typing 'halt' the system would always halt but 
you had to switch off the power yourself. I then updated to 2.6.8 
(newest Kernel you can get and still keep the system 'testing') and it 
worked immediately.

I'll test suspend to ram/disk when I get around to it. But I'll let you 
know how things went. So far it only blacks the screen when not being 
used for a while. But that could as well be a BIOS thing ...

so long,
Meike
