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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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)
