FWIW, it also works fine on my Compaq Presario 2100, out-of-the-box
(almost, obviously had to add acpi=on to the kernel parameters)
I have an IBM Thinkpad T30. I have your exact same situation.
acpi=on, enable gnome's battstat applet, shows as 0%, plus it seems
to be polling something, which causes a slight, but noticable,
slowdown. Anyone know why this doesn't seem to work correctly with
Thinkpads? anyway, I just returned to using apm mode. Works well
enough since my RH9 usage.
