Ed & James (and any other Thinkpad users)-

How is your power consumption during ACPI suspend?  Thinkpad users 
interested in ACPI because of the above APM issue should also track 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022

You'll also want to watch out for the clock skew issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=144822

BTW, the devel kernels seem to be recent enough to solve the APM issue for 
many of us.
