Well. You're a lucky guy. Happy for you. Do you use radeon frame buffer ?

I have a very similar setup.

2.6.11.4 + swsusp2 + ibm_acpi + radeonfb power drain patch + one acpi 
patch. system very stable but drain SLIGHTLY higer in the 800mW/hour range.

Will publish the patches I am using and kernel config alter on this day 
if I manage.

Take care,
