10.0 to10.1???

Hello, I have been using SuSE since version 9.0. I have skipped a couple of versions but I am currently using 10.0. My computer is a HP pavillion zv5000 laptop using nVidia chipset. The power management does not work properly. Has this been improved in 10.1? I would like to get power management working and would upgrade if PM will work without having to jump through hoops. Would there be any reason to switch from 10.0 to 10.1? Should I just skip this version and wait for the next one. Power management would be my main interest. David
