I have not recently tested with X but the tests I've done yesterday
was with the console. The laptop seems to come back from suspend mode
but the LCD stays black as if the laptop wasn't powered (but the
system seems to come back correctly from suspend mode but, of course,
I can't be sure of that). I'll search through the list for these
patches and test when I'll come back home.

If I plug the AC back, ACPI code detects it, the correct % went back
and the battery is correctly detected as charging .
