Add ´apm=on´to your boot options. See the Admin Guide for details.
I have done this and it makes no difference!
This cured the no-shutdown problem on my TP770X. APM is not setup by default in this version as I understand it.
Best install yet for my T-Pad, BTW.
Mostly I agree!

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. Not sure if this applies to the X series of Thinkpad, but I hope it helps out. Best Ron Gravelle
