Weird, but good to know, thanks.

I always preferred the trackpoint :/

Ok, I remember now that it's unrelated. I had an ACPI oddity where
booting with AC plugged in would stop right after the "acpitz0 at acpi0"
line iirc, but Windows XP hanged too. I updated my BIOS today, maybe it
is fixed there already.

$ pcictl pci1 list
001:00:0: ATI Technologies product 0x7145 (VGA display)
I guess this is also an X1400. The T60 also shipped with i960 and X1300
iirc.

I mean a simple push. Push-and-hold always worked.

Ok.

Today I looked at the ACPI DSDT tables from my former and updated
BIOSes. I could not get either of them to compile back (they want
\_SB_.PCI0.SATA.SCND.MSTR, which is not defined?!?) but otherwise I
don't see anything weird there. I also wonder if this is normal:
PNP0200 [AT DMA Controller] at acpi0 not configured

I don't really know where to look at... Plus I can't really afford to
risk breaking either the software or the hardware on this machine :(

Cheers,
