[LUNI] thinkpad pwmgnt issue

[Seva Epsteyn]

I've used some ThinkPads for a while and pre Fedora Core 6 I would add 
"acpi_sleep=s3_bios" to the kernel parameters in grub.conf to make 
button/lid events work as expected.

You should check out some of the setup write-ups for T41 here for some 
more tips: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html
