[ltp] T43 on Suse linux? - Model 2687D8U

[Chris Wilson]

With Ubuntu almost everything works without changes. Hibernate worked
from the get-go. For software suspend just change a boot parameter and
uncomment a line in /etc/default/acpi-support. The buttons are all
working too.

According to thinkwiki it seems that the fan issue is a linux only
problem. I've barely used Windows on it but i don't recall noticing it
then.

I've got a 2668-75U and it's really nice.
