Ok, i'll look into this ACPI stuff. I tried it, but it didn't work
properly. The power saving function didn't seem to work, maybe because
of this bug So this might be an explanation. Considering your statement
and the BIOS Update ChangeLog, it seems the Version 2.04 doesn't
already contain a corrected table?
Had anyone tried the patch from here:
http://www.poupinou.org/acpi/ibm_ecdt.html ? It seems it adresse
exactly this problem.
But even if it would contain this fix, anyone experience in flashing the
thinkpad bios without a windows installation? Maybe with a boot cdrom?
