Hi. I'm a newcomer.
I've a thinkpad x40 since few days; I found a lot of pages regarding the
installation and configuration of linux on such laptop, but the most author=
s
suggest to use APM instead ACPI. right now I'm using a
2.6.12.6<http://2.6.12.6>kernel configured with apm (I need .12 in
order to use an orinoco patch for
kismet) and it works with susp-on-ram.
I tried, with the same kernel version, to:
- compile without apm, with acpi, with (1) and without (2) the thinkpad acp=
i
support
- (3) compile an acpi kernel with the latest ibm-acpi modules (downloaded
from the site)

In the 3 cases I'm not able to susp-on-ram the laptop; I've activated
hotkeys but fn+f4 (that works fine with apm) don't "respond". Checking with
acpi_listen, I can see the sleep signal, but nothing happens.

I'm not a powermgmt-guru and I don't know where can I find a guide to
configure this kind of stuff.
- in order to use the x40, which is the better solution? apm or acpi? I mea=
n
regarding battery life, features, suspend possibility...
- After compiling an acpi kernel, and installing the ibm-acpi modules, what
I've to do in order to use the acpi features?
- or: where can I find an exaustive description of the work I've to do?

thanks and sorry for long posting
