Dex,

Check out ThinkWiki (http://www.thinkwiki.org/ThinkWiki) and Volker 
Braun's T-41 site. 
(http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~vbraun/computing/T41/kernel.html)  He's got a 
link to his kernel repository there.  The more recent ones (2.6.11-13) 
get ACPI working just fine on my T40.  Depending on the graphics chipset 
in your T30, you might have to recompile from the SRPM after editing a 
file.  (Write me directly if you need to recompile and I'll help you.)
