I actually have 0206 on my notebook.

The APIC/ACPI problem seems solved and the fix will hopefully make it
into the 2.6.x series (if it hasn't gone in already).

Unfortunately, it appears that ACPI still has some troubles with my
notebook. None of the S1, S3 modes really comes back and S4 (swsusp)
also doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

Will try again this week with the current development versions,
although it seems that some problems may be more generally to the
Intel 855GM chipset: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1877

Since I can't find the time to do some code-investigation, all I have
to offer for solving the problem at the moment is information and
occasional testing.

If someone felt like digging into the issue, I would be eternally
grateful, though. ;-)

Regards,
Georg
