According to the Linux ACPI developers the IBM Thinkpad A31 has a buggy BIOS. Recently I have heard/read rumors that SuSE is cooperating with IBM concercing the ACPI implementation of Thinkpad notebooks. There seem to be many Thinkpad owners having the same problem with ACPI support. Today I have tested your SuSE kernel (suse-2.4.19-41 [20030103]) hoping that ACPI might work. ;-) Could you please inform us what the status of the cooperation with IBM at SuSE is? Are there any efforts at IBM to fix the buggy BIOS or at SuSE to implement a work around for the buggy bios? Any information is highly appreciated!
