    I have a thinkpad (A20 series) that supports ACPI.
    How do I set up the thinkpad buttons for suspend/standby... to work with ACPI?

    Normally these work fun with APM, but since everyone and their uncle seems to
    be bailing out of APM support and my notebook does claim ACPI support I
    thought I would try the switch.

    I can get ACPI running, but it doesn't actually "do" anything for my notebook.
