Shure, it is the way of the future, but eventually not the way of the
present times  :-)  There are some subtle problems with some IBM Bios
implementations and the T40/T41 series seems to be especially bad or
difficult to handle with. Nevertheless, if you succeed in using ACPI I
would appreciate if you post the solution here.
