Dex,
Check out ThinkWiki (http://www.thinkwiki.org/ThinkWiki) and Volker Braun's T-41 site. (http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~vbraun/computing/T41/kernel.html) He's got a link to his kernel repository there. The more recent ones (2.6.11-13) get ACPI working just fine on my T40. Depending on the graphics chipset in your T30, you might have to recompile from the SRPM after editing a file. (Write me directly if you need to recompile and I'll help you.)

ACPI works fine on my 3 year old Toshiba Satellite using FC3 out of the box. Not so well on my older Gateway Solos. They run into a year 2000 failure.
