Thinkpad suspend-to-ram power drain



Hey all,

Has anyone been able to get around the excessive power drain on a Thinkpad
when using suspend to ram? The problem is documented on ThinkWiki at this
page:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_power_drain_in_ACPI_sleep

I am running Sarge with a custom 2.6.12 kernel using the linux-source
package from Sid. I have applied the patch mentioned on the page above,
compiled radeonfb directly into the kernel and set "video=radeonfb" as a
kernel parameter in grub. The Ethernet interface is off, so wake-on-lan
should not be a problem. 

Unfortunately, the battery is still draining 10% per hour in S3 suspend.
Has anyone been successful in fixing this problem?

Thanks,
