Tried it, but didn't get that to work.  I. e., it seems apmd never
calls /etc/rc.suspend (i can't see any syslog entry from that logger
call either).

Have you tried using APMD to put the display into text mode when
suspending? This si not my favorite way to do things, but it should
work a lot better than nothing.

 Yah, I think the correct/updated version is at:

http://www.poupinou.org/acpi/ibm_ecdt.html

However, I think I'll pray and wait for an IBM BIOS fix.  I'm not yet
that desperate.  ;-(

 In the meantime, I'll muddle through with apm.

A more useful reference, I think, is:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3597172

If you add similar code to FreeBSD to detect and patch the BIOS
table, this fixes the problem in FreeBSD, as well (though adding
the code is somewhat tricky: YMMV, knowledge of both FreeBSD and
Linux required; sorry, I do not have a patch against -current).

 It may not necessarily be a FreeBSD problem (or, not only).  While
there may be issues with FreeBSD's ACPI, there are definitely issues

Can you suspend from within graphics mode?  I can't seem to do that,
neither with APM nor with ACPI.  In some case, i've seen four
horizontal lines upon wakeup, in other cases, the graphics display
gets restored correctly, but the machine still locks up (probably in
APM BIOS, not even the lock key LEDs react, but Fn works).

Suspending from within text mode always works.  The graphics mode
problem is particularly annoying if the system enters auto-suspend
on a low battery condition...

No, src-committers wouldn't have helped you.  That's src developers only,
not public.  Do not cross-post src-committers with -current either.

If you really want to have a public discussion, post to -current, and then
a second "hey, look over on -current" to src-developers@.  Or do a
bcc: src-developers or something.  But not a To:/CC: cross post.

I think anybody using -current is expected to be subscribed to
-current. I think it follows that if you develop for -current
that you at least be on -current (the commit bit is optional,
the mailinglist subscription is not :-)

Something like that. No written-down rules AFAICT, but just plain
common sense.

No.  It says something about the temperature exceeding the
system limit and barfs.  I thought I'd better live with APM
for the time being rather than with ACPI without thermal --
I noticed that the cooler isn't so active without it.

Don't cross post current and developers.

The developers charter says it's for internal management i.e. how we
manage the project and not for discussing code issues. It's badly named,
we should have called it something like "members" or "admin".

Hmm, is this on -CURRENT or -STABLE?  I can't get apm(4)
working on 600X with -CURRENT; the module loading has some

APM works fine on the 600E.  The latest BIOS updates and new model main
batteries seem to solve most of the battery complaints.

My only outstanding issue is that I can't suspend if an application is
holding /dev/dsp or /dev/audio open.

This is just the last in a long series of Thinkpad f***ups.  I
concluded long ago that ThinkPads are nothing but trouble: buggy
BIOSes; broken charge controllers that will ruin a brand new battery
in weeks; keyboard / trackpoint assemblies with a one-year MTBF;
broken APM and / or ACPI; docking stations that render the machine
unusable until you reset and reconfigure the BIOS, etc.  Unfortunately
I can't afford a new laptop, so I'm stuck with my 600E.
