hi,

I've tried the patches posted here by Bob Alexander. After applieng
them, I can use my System with Suspend to RAM.

The output:

Mon Jan 31 17:45:50 CET 2005
before: 30010 mWh
after: 28020 mWh
diff: -1990 mWh
seconds: 9853 sec
result: -727 mW
Congratulations, your model seems NOT to be affected.


I used this patches on a T40 2373-8CG. For people, who are waiting for
this patches in a stable kernel, I don't think they will arrive soon,
because you have to edit the 5th patch of the radeonstuff patches to get
it working

I had to fit this lines for my model in the 5th patch:
--------------------------- [EDIT] ------------------------
+       {
+               .ident =3D "IBM ThinkPad T40 (2373-8CG)",
+               .matches =3D {
+                       DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "IBM"),
+                       DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "23738CG"),
+               },

-------------------------- [/EDIT]--------------------------

this line is the important one: DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "23738CG"),


I hope these information can help other people to fix this issue.
