I initially suggested hibernate and vbetool because they helped me to
get suspend to ram working on my laptop (which is not a thinkpad, but I
also have an intel graphics chip). The hibernate configuration files
have a commented-out option to use vbetool after resume, and this
removed my own problems with the black display. However, since your
thinkpad seems to be configured already to use pm-utils, I suggest that
you try a bit more with that.

If I understand you correctly, you can suspend and resume without
problems if you use this command directly? That means you almost have it
working already. We just have to figure out how to make sure the
--quirk-s3-bios option is invoked when you press Fn-moon.

This might be a misunderstanding: I think you should put
DISPLAY_QUIRK_S3_BIOS="true"
into this file. You only need to type the backslashes ("\") if you use
the echo command to write this line into this file. Can you post the
output of
cat /etc/pm/config.d/config
?

This might simply mean that the manual is not up-to-date. The thinkwiki
pages have the reputation to be the best source of information for
thinkpad users.

In a perfect world the manpages should always list the configuration
files and directories. Sometimes it is necessary to use google or to
list all files of a package and make a guess.
(You can use "dpkg -L pm-utils" to list all files in the pm-utils
package, for example.)

Only some ways of suspending require a kernel patch. As I said above,
try a bit more with pm-utils since it works from the command line
already.
