Youre right - the laptop details will help: IBM T43p I will look into bios updates too though they are going to be tricky as it seems i need a non-usb floppy or windows xp (neither of which I have) The laptop doesn't go to sleep - I use the kde powermanagement tool to set the sleep when the lid is closed, but in the newer kernels it just doesnt work - all the sleep options are greyed out and I can't figure out why. I have looked through various logs but have been unable to find pretty much anything acpi/sleep related at all. Maybe the problem is not the kernel... i suppose it could be that kde doesnt like something in the newer kernels.
