I usually go in windows mode to set APM features with the ThinkPad
utilities. It is not possible to do such a thing under Linux because IBM
does not want to provide the specifications how to set the values of
energy control (as far as I know).

Hmm. I think so. I think it is coming from the 365XD. Under window$95,
the battery utility report the same discrete values (100%, 80% and
10%). I would guess that on low end laptops IBM does not provide all APM
functionnalities.
Hope it helps,
