It seems that I have found an antidote to the excessive CPU useage on my ThinkPad T23. If I boot up and observe CPU usage in the 60 to 80% range and print a page from Mozilla on my Canon i850 printer using the IBM omnien driver, the CPU usage immediately drops to ~1.3%. On the advice of another T23 owner, I changed the setting in System Setup => Power => Properties to APM BIOS support from APM BIOS and eCS support, the problem goes away. The "fix" survives a reboot. Since I normally enter suspend from <Fn-F4> and have set battery state update to 2 minutes, I appear to have lost nothing significant from the change.

Further, DVD writing has improved greatly. This morning I wrote four files totalling ~2.9GB to a DVD-R without problems. The first file to be written was 1.6GB followed by the three smaller files. It would seem there is a problem that occurrs on the T23 but on few, if any, other machines. I must admit surprise at the "equivalence" between printing and power features!

All installs of eCS 1.2 has worked well after downloading the necessary drivers from IBMs pages ([url])

except for the WireLess connectiivity. The only card that installed without an err. msg. was the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN PC Card-128 (shipped with eCS 1.2), but when running WiFi state, it comes up with the msg. "No card detected". Anyone with any suggestion?

eCS 12R works excellent in all aspects after some tuning and BIOS update (jan 07) - including sleep mode, sound and wireless.
