well, as a data point, I have a pcg-r505tfp (I think it's that one),
and it works well with ACPI, only the cardbus stuff doesn't work (and
psm, but that was fixed by cvsuping).

Well, trying to do suspend/reboot with ACPI fails (the machine never wakes
up again), but other than that...

If I disable ACPI, I get a panic in the swapper process whilst doing pnpbios
stuff.
