I give up. For the life of me, I can't get any kind of suspend/resume working on my Thinkpad T60p. It's tantalizingly close: hibernate-ram wakes up but the screen remains blank, and hibernate is also almost there, but not quite.

If you have any suggestions on how to get it working, pretty please let me know.

Try s2ram. It includes a variety of different ways of poking the video card to wake up again.

Should also be included in this ebuild (but don't be confused that it also contains a userspace suspend-to-disk implementation)

No suggestions, but I am in the exact same boat. I haven't given it much effort and can't really, so hope you find something.

I gave up too. I doubt Gentoo will ever be a polished notebook distro.

My advice: Install Ubuntu Edgy or Feisty. Suspend and hibernate work perfectly with a default install on my Lenovo 3000 N100 (which is essentially a trimmed-down ThinkPad), and it's not even using suspend2 kernel patches.

Daniel: thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it a shot.

Alex: No, Ubuntu isn't for me at this point. Gotta drink my own Kool-Aid...

That sounds like "time to make a nice howto" :p

Seems to be something strange with ThinkPads. Add "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" to the end of the kernel line in your grub.conf and it will wake up properly.
I think I found this at thinkwiki.org - good resource for ThinkPads.
