Lukas,

I see that IBM released new firmware for the T30 on April 2, 2003, but
has not released new firmware for the T20 since Dec, 1999! Thee is
rather new firmware for the T40, as well, which might fix things. I
guess this means that they will release the new ACPI stuff only when
they get around to it. Sorry!

But keep an eye on the IBM update page:
(http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/TPAD-MATRIX.html)
in case things change.
