If you have a T2x, and you have any sort of weird ACPI EC-related problems
(which you *do* if you are using 2.6.30 or later, but it might also happen
on older kernels for all I know), you might want to take a look into the
patch available on this bug report:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14858

You'll likely need to switch to the latest stable 2.6.32 kernel to use that
patch, though.

The patch will be included in 2.6.33.  I don't know at this point if it will
be backported to -stable (but it really should be).
