I know that many people -- including me! -- think that in general, 
Thinkpads work well with NetBSD.  But there's a problem with the APM 
support that I've run into a few times, and I was wondering if anyone 
had any fixes.

If the machine is on battery and left running unattended, the screen 
blanks.  Usually, I can't get it to turn back on again, except by 
suspend/resume -- and sometimes (like just now) the suspend doesn't 
work.  From that, I suspect that there's an APM event being sent to the 
kernel, and it isn't being handled properly.  Has anyone else seen 
this?  Any fixes or bypasses?
