Could be the Bios as well are you running the latest. On my end. ACPI works only under winNT... not XP not 2000 (or at least googling around says that) In fact with acpi suspend is the only thing I go working right.... went back to apm... that works. But why I said the Bios is that I did a Bios upgrade recently and that cured a bunch of X related problems for me.
