Hi folks, so, I'm getting there with my "new" ibm thinkpad 600E; x works, gnome runs, openoffice runs...
I upgraded to the 2.6.12 kernel b/c the nonfree module for my wireless card won't compile against 2.4.27; and anyway I like udev, etc. But apparently the stock debian unstable kernel (2.6.12-something) has no power management modules! so I have to compile my own, which leaves metinking.... - my laptop supports apm perfectly, but for acpi apparently I need a newer version of the the ibm-acpi package than is currently available. So for now I will stick with apm, but I'm wondering what benefits there are to moving to acpi when (if) the newer module version moves into the main kernel tree? - I'm also interested in using software-suspend2, which I guess patches into the 2.6.12 kernel tree if you use the experimental kernel-patch packages. Anyone usei t and love/hate it? Does it conflict or in any way interact with acpi, apm, etc? Any special precautions I needto take b4/after compiling the kernel? Anyway, gotta get my kids to school, but thx kforthe help, matt -------------------------- .''`.
