Did you try to rebuild your kernel from source? I had no luck at all on my laptop till I followed this procedure.
/usr/src/kernel-2.4.19-Xmdk/ save .config make mrproper restore .config if you want make *config make bzImage modules make modules_install install Should allways work. Try it. Also, if your laptop support acpi, download the new -18mdk kernel and enable acpi support. Seems to be working for me.
