Not SUSE, but Gentoo. I'm using the LAPTOP-MODE patch in kernel 2.6.1 compiled 
with cpufreq support. Works GREAT. Target laptop is a compaq 700us... I'm 
able to throttle the cpu speed from 500mhz to 1.2gig on the fly with the 
laptop-mode patch allowing the harddrive to sleep for longer periods. I can 
run this particular flopper in low-E-mode for nearly 5 hours before the 
battery poops out....  Thats about twice what I had before the changes. 

Pretty darn good!
