Do not know. I am using acpi on my IBM 600X, which seems to work ok, except that I do not see any benefit over APM (bseides the fact that I can view temperatures and charge in mWh). Am I supposed to see my machine suspend automatically (it does not)? All my normal devices (PCMCIA NIC, winmodem, USB port etc) work, but I was hoping for a bit more ... Maybe I should go back to apm, then at least I can use apmiser to throttle the CPU (which I am not sure acpi does at present).
