It is a Maxdata Eco 4500A, which is a German brand, so not many people know 
it, I guess (nice thing about it: ships without Windows if you want :-)).
Well, it's supposed to have full ACPI support, and most of the things do work 
(battery status with a few errors once in a while, ac adapter status, thermal 
zone, processor frequency scaling, ...). But "Suspend to RAM via ACPI" is 
giving me problems, and as far as I have heard, this is quite common?

Well, but does reasonable ACPI support also mean that Linux will be able to 
use it perfectly? I thought this was one area, where the Linux kernel is 
still a bit short?
But maybe I will just have to test and fiddle more, to get it to work.

Yes, I guess I will give this or the acpi mailing list a try.

Thanks a lot for your help!
