Hi,

I am currently using powersaved daemon in Suse 9.1 professional to do
power management for T42p - my problem with it is that the daemon
crashes after every suspend, resume cycle. Do we know if T42p works
well with ibm-acpi?

My specific needs are:

0. ACPI suspend to RAM and suspend to hard disk support
1. speedstep for cpu frequency depending on the load while on batteries.
2. Control FAN depending on whether on batteries or not.
3. Control Hard Drive depending on whether on batteries or not.
4. Set powermanagement on and off for the wireless driver based on
whether on batteries or not
5. Support LID closed and open events

Also, does ibm-acpi work with 2.6.9?=20

thanks,
Osho
