ibm-acpi together with enabling software suspend in the kernel will do
this.

ibm-acpi should help you here, since Boris owns a X40 himself and says
it's working for him.

In what way? Dualhead is still a problem with xorg. But you should be
able to use external display only or use a mirrored image. Also dualhead
on VGA out should be possible with the X40.

Should also work with ibm-acpi.

Afaik IBM still didn't release any specs and hence no one did make
any (successful) effort to dig into this, yet.
