I have nearly the same machine running 2.0 and current.
The only apm issues I've seen:
- The screen dims to less than full brightness and can't be brought up
or
- The backlight turns off and you have to push the brightness up
buttons to get it back
- Can't sleep
- Cardslot eject buttons don't work
- lid switch doesn't turn off backlight and/or cause the machine to go
to sleep
all of which there are PRs open on I believe.
