[ltp] Sleep and sound problems on 600x

[Brian Kendig]

I'm running Linux (FC2, my own compile of kernel 2.6.7) on a ThinkPad 
600x (with the latest firmware).  It works terrifically except for three 
annoying problems:

(1) It won't go to sleep when I close the lid.  I'm using APM for power 
management, and it will go to sleep if I run "apm -s".  I set up a DOS 
floppy with PS2.EXE and booted from it and was able to use that to turn 
off the beeps and enable the trackpoint when the mouse is connected, and 
those settings work, but 'PS2 COVER ENABLE' seems to have had no effect.

(2) When I boot the machine, sound works fine, but after it goes to 
sleep and I wake it, sound never works again until I reboot.  I'm using 
the ALSA drivers in the 2.6 kernel.  FC2 doesn't have any 
'/etc/init.d/alsa' script to use to restart sound.

(3) Has anyone been able to get ACPI to work on a 600x?  When I tried 
it, the computer hung when I tried to wake it from sleep.

Thanks for any help!
