Comment 2 Holger Eilhard 2004-06-15 17:48:53 UTC 
Kernel parameter acpi=off does the job in latest kernel (2.6.6-1.435).
Comment 3 Dimitris 2004-08-03 02:00:42 UTC 
With ACPI enabled you can suspend with this command:

echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep


the Fn-F4 key does not work because it requires some application
to listen for the key. there is a thinkpad daemon which can listen
for all thinkpad-related keys. i think you can find it in Dag's
repository for FC1 and FC2.
Comment 4 Holger Eilhard 2004-08-03 14:10:36 UTC 
"echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep" doesn't work for me. Blanks the screen,
writes some text and comes back with a whacked X screen.
Comment 5 Dimitris 2004-08-08 07:03:23 UTC 
Oh, i forgot to mention that i got that working with kernel:
2.6.7-1.494.2.2.

Might be worth a try upgrading to that kernel.

Make sure you've got acpid running, and not apm.
