News from the Thinkpad A31 front:

In the meanwhile IBM has released BIOS version 1.06 for the A31 which fixes
the broken ECDT table. Yay! I am currently running linux-2.4.21-pre7 with the
latest acpi-patch. I have also commented out the "if (ec_ecdt && ec_ecdt->uid
== uid) {...}" block in acpi_ec_add() of ec.c.
ACPI seems to be pretty usable on the A31 now.

I am experiencing exactly the same issues as Jayan Krishnaswami does with his
T23.
- /proc/acpi/fan/ is empty: The fan does not stop which makes the battery only
last for 90 minutes.
- /proc/acpi/processor/CPU/performance: *P0: 0 MHz, 0 mW, 500
uS P1: 0 MHz, 0 mW, 500 uS

Greetings,
Dom
