I don't think so. He's got an 8000, not an 8100, and I believe it's APM. You definitely can't do half the ACPI stuff on a 2500 you can do on an 8100, because our BIOS is buggy - but if I ever manage to get a working ASL compile, then we can make a new DSDT and enable pretty much everything on the 2500 (except perhaps fan controls).
re: the original question, what sort of suspend do you want to do - ACPI supports S1 - S5 and they're all different. The simple answer is you install acpid, build the rules to look for the Sleep or Lid Button (these keep changing because ACPI is very much still in development but it currently appears to be SLPB and LID) and do "echo 1 >/proc/acpi/sleep" (or echo 3, etc). The biggest problem with LID is that there isn't an open/closed setting, it's just a counter that increments every time the lid is opened or closed, so you want it to trigger only when the value is an odd number.
