Well, not the last time I tried (about three months ago with etch. The problem is that the DSDT is compiled with an MS compiler. Apparently, if you recompile the DSDT with the intel compiler, it sorts things out. But I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, because the newest DSDT I could find (http://acpi.sourceforge.net) is older than my BIOS, and I need the newest BIOS to resolve issues with *hold your breath* ACPI, and other problems introduced by upgrading the memory to 2gb. So currently I'm using SUSE on the notebook, which somehow makes the ACPI stuff work properly. I just finished downloading DVD1 of Etch Beta3 - will give it another try soon.
