i just use the native 2.6 swsusp and acpi with my r40.

for the command, i just coded a little script that ultimately calls:
echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
and i've added bits along the way, like resetting the clock, disabling
laptop mode, etc.

here's most my script:
#!/bin/sh
chvt 12 # since i like to watch

/etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop

echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep

/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start
/etc/init.d/laptop-mode start
