Hi Harry,
I tryied this. The suspend seems to work, but when it wakes up, it looses the mouse on USB.
Traded one evil for another.
I'm using the trackpad mouse right now, until I can reboot. I also installed the latest kernel (760) but there is still no sound.
Thanks for the help, Chris

Chris,
Bummer about the sound... you don't have the hardware mute on do you? (sorry if this is an obvious question). I had to unmute everything in the volume control and then go back and remute things one at a time.
I have suspend to ram working. I found a website documenting it all but can't find the link right now.
Essentially what you need to do is create a few files in /etc/acpi/events
$cat lid.conf
event=button/lid action=/usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
$cat shutdown.conf
event=button/power.* action=/sbin/shutdown -h now
$cat lid.conf
event=button/lid action=/usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
$cat /usr/lib/bin/t41-suspend.sh
#!/bin/bash echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep && /sbin/hwclock --hctosys
And if you are running Gnome and have the battery monitor right click on the battery and select preferences
change the suspend command to be: sudo /usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
Then run visudo and add the following: hhoffman ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
Well, use your username that is.
HTH, Harry

Chris,
Awesome! glad to hear it was solvable. What's the problem you are having with alsamixer?
The problem is that there is no sound. There is a little trick that some people have suggested: open alsamixer and set Head Phone Jack Sense and Line Jack Sense to 'Mute'. But that hasn't made a different. system-config-soundcard has detected the card but when I click the 'Play Test Sound' button, there is only silence. Volume level is about 3/4 up.
I read somewhere that this is an unsolved issue in Thinkpads. Another unsolved issue seems to be, that I can't get the machine to sleep. It worked once, only once, but when I woke it up again, it went to shut itself down (clean). This is one area where I must say, Apple did a great job with OS X and their Powerbooks. My powerbook goes to sleep within less than a second and wake up is instant.
Best regards, Chris
PS. Trying sound from KDE instead of GNOME - same (no) result.
