I'm guessing Ubuntu uses gnome-power-manager, you need to be in group
powerdev, and possibly bind the correct key to "Sleep" in "Keyboard
Shortcuts".
I'm already a member of the powerdev group...
pfalcone@vanguard:~$ groups pfalcone
pfalcone : pfalcone adm dialout cdrom floppy audio src video plugdev
powerdev netdev nvram
Even with that, I still can't make the laptop suspend via Fn-F12
(although using g-p-m works just fine). Here's the log of
/var/log/acpid whenever I press Fn-F12:
[Fri Dec 1 13:50:08 2006] executing action "/etc/acpi/hibernatebtn.sh"
[Fri Dec 1 13:50:08 2006] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES
[Fri Dec 1 13:50:09 2006] END HANDLER MESSAGES
[Fri Dec 1 13:50:09 2006] action exited with status 0
[Fri Dec 1 13:50:09 2006] completed event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000100c"
Now, I couldn't map the Fn-F12 script to GNOME keyboard shortcuts as I
don't mask the ibm_acpi module:
pfalcone@vanguard:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe
options ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xff9f experimental=1
I do believe that this is also the same options that ubuntu passes to
the ibm_acpi module.

Not sure if this is supported in g-p-m 2.14 or if it was added in 2.16.
What version did Ubuntu use?
I used Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 back then ... both already have that patch
enabled I guess.. at any rate g-p-m 2.14 as packaged by Debian in Sid
I think doesn't have that patch for Thinkpads... (I could be wrong
though...)
