Please install 'acpidump' from pkgsrc, and run the following:

  # acpidump -o thinkpad_x20.aml >/dev/null

and send me the .aml file. I'll check to see if you have buggy firmware
(and if so, we might be able to patch it).

Hrm, also, do you have the 'acpiec' driver in your kernel? Maybe try
once more with that driver enabled. I don't have an acpiec in my laptop,
but the man page hints that other drivers implicitly depend on it.

Cheers,
Jared
