My new ThinkPad X300 can suspend just fine if I use the hibernate-ram command, but the sleep button (Fn+F4 or "Suspend" from gnome-power-manager) is not able to suspend. The system starts to suspend but immediately wakes up again. What exactly is gnome/dbus/hal doing when I tell it to suspend? It seems like hal is what actually takes care of calling whatever programs are responsible for suspending, but I can't figure out where it does this or how it's configured.
The X300, btw, is a sweet laptop. I'd been using a MacBook Air for the past couple months before trading it in for an upgrade. ;) (Both machines are really owned by my employer, but they won't be getting the X300 back any time soon.) Etch installed OK, but it needed some newer drivers than what were available, so I went ahead with the lenny beta installer. It might be interesting to try etch-and-a-half at some point, which might work. noah
