Thomas,

If you modify your /etc/default/acpi-support, Fn+F4 should definitely
put it to sleep.

That will be a good start.  ibm_acpi should also be running, check lsmod.

Lastly, you may want to unload USB and your network modules as follows:

Yours may be different, but I know USB plays games with suspend and
hibernate.

FWIW, mine worked on Breezy "out-of-the-box" and I have a T41.
