Re: TP600 & APM problem in X

I've got an A21e and I'm having a heck of a time with ACPI. Is it just 
ACPI that's broken or my laptop? I'd posted the dmesg dump to a similar 
problem report (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/46553) 
but hadn't seen much else on it.

Is the 'ps2.exe' util up on IBM's web site? (I ask because finding 
drivers on their site is often like searching for the metaphorical 
needle). Should I give it a whirl or is my best bet just disabling ACPI 
and going with APM (which worked reasonably well under 4.5)?
