Okay, my experience with linux on a laptop is that I always use the newest
kernel available in hope that something will work better than it did with an
older one.

So I compile a kernel, use it and if I cange something, I go on and fetch a
newer one. Especially on acpi issues, there are always some things that do not
work as they should.
