I have installed many types of Linux including Suse on thinkpads, on the T series and all of them require bios tweaking to get the power management to work. Ibm has some of their own power management that interferes with the Linux system's.
SuSE 9.1 & 9.2 come with special Thinkpad BIOS programs. One is called 'tpctl'. A graphical version is 'configure-thinkpad'. There is also a special kernel module 'km_tpctl'.
