ACPI is definitely a mixed bag. I don't think I've ever seen a system where it worked completely right, unlike APM, which was pretty mature.
Most laptops now days need it. Period. End of story. If you don't run it you get stuttering sound, jerky mouse pointers, dead or flaky usb ports, etc, etc.
Oh, I know. My Thinkpad T22 is sort of one of them. Under SUSE 10.1, if I turned off ACPI and turned on APM, I could get working suspend, but I had to disable CPU frequency switching in the BIOS or things got wonky when I switched from AC to battery. In 10.2, suspend doesn't work in APM, either. Suspend/resume have been gradually getting less reliable for me with every new release, which makes me wonder if the Linux developers have sort of given up on the whole thing as a bad job. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
