I have the latest SNAP that was available directly from the vendor when
they dropped the OS/2 support.  And, it worked for my prior TPad, an
A30p.  But, it's never worked correctly on the T60 w/eCS 2.0 [or 1.2].

Wnen I complained about this, I was told that it is an ACPI issue -
ACPI does not check the correct BIOS settings/key-depressions.  The
A30p was not dependent on [did not have/need] support for ACPI.  I
don't believe Panorama provides support either, which also would
implicate ACPI.

Maybe one of these days there will be a GA of 2.0 with a fully working
ACPI... :-(
