Hm, I don't see the pm01 version on your site.

Thanks for your short instructions as well, patching is way easier than
I though indeed. I compiled 4.5 myself, but haven't got it properly
working. Not sure if that's a problem with my build or the kernel itself.
While Paul's 4.4.4 runs relatively reliable (I had one or two freezes on
startup), this one always seems to freeze within a few seconds after
startup, either still on the login screen or just after logging into
xfce (I just managed to see that the battery is apparently recognised,
which is nice).

I suspect this is the known freez problem, although I don't know if this
is really down to a graphics problem? XFCE isn't terribly demanding, I
think, and it seems to work relatively ok on 4.4.4.

Let's hope 4.6 gets more stable again while retaining the ACPI
capabilities...
