=== To Ram ===

Does not work by default.

I used the information from [http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_(Hardy_Heron)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#Suspend_with_Nv140m here]and [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#How_to_Suspend_with_nVidia_140m.2F570m here].

'''Summary:'''

Open the file {{path|/etc/default/acpi-support}} in your favorite editor and change the following lines:

# Should we save and restore state using the VESA BIOS Extensions?
SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
...
# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video hardware on resume?
POST_VIDEO=false
...
# Set the following to "platform" if you want to use ACPI to shut down
# your machine on hibernation
HIBERNATE_MODE=platform
...
# Save and restore video state?
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true

Create a new file {{path|/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi}} with the following contents:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>

If the above method does not work, restart hal ('sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart') and check if the modifications are loaded correctly with 'lshal | grep quirk'. If power_management.quirk.s3_bios is still set to true, try editing {{path|/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi}}.
Change <pre><merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">true</merge></pre> to <pre><merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge></pre> on line 9 (under section X60 / X60s / T61 / T61p / R61 / R61s / X61(s/Tablet) / X300).
Don't forget to restart hal and check if the modifications are loaded correctly this time!

=== To Disc ===

Suspend to Disk (and RAM) worked out of the box for me.
However when resuming, the wireless network would not reconnect automatically.

Note: I have the iwl4965 driver. Check the driver for your host with:
lsmod | grep 80211

The following changes will ensure wifi is available after resuming:

vi /etc/default/acpi-support
#MODULES=""
# ACM 1-Jul-2008 Explicitly specify all the wifi modules to be shutdown
MODULES="iwl4965 iwlwifi_mac80211 cfg80211"

#STOP_SERVICES=""
# ACM 1-Jul-2008 specify netapplet be restarted
STOP_SERVICES="netapplet"

vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
# defoptions=quiet splash acpi_sleep=s3_mode

update-grub
