I'm sorry, but I have to correct my self. We have two of laptops and on one of
them we recently updated the bios. On the system with the bios from 2002 it
works fine, on the other one with bios from Nov. 2004 it doesn't work in any
acpi_sleep mode, didn't have the time to test the vbetool yet (A31s have
radeon cards). The system configuration is otherwise completely identical, I
just configured our environment, so that all laptops always have excactly the
linux version. For testing purpose I could/will also try to run Xorg,
currently its X from Debian Sarge.

IBM TP A31 / Type 2652-M5G / BIOS 1.04 2002-08-23 s3_mode (3)
IBM TP A31 / Type 2652-M5G / BIOS 1.11 2004-11-05 not working

Sorry for not noting it immediately,
Bernd

PS: Maybe its also interesting, with the newer bios version the kernel prints
much less dsdt parsing errors, but nevertheless the S3 mode doesn't work.
