[ltp] thinkpad t43 suspend

Hi,
I'm having trouble making my T43 suspend correctly. I'm using Arch
Linux (www.archlinux.org) at the moment. The thinkpad seems to suspend
correctly, but it doesn't wake up fully. The consoles get garbled
(appending acpi_sleep=3Ds3_bios to the kernel helped with that), X seems
to resume ok, but isn't usable (fails to react to mouse buttons and
pretty much anything else). Furthermore, it seems the hard drive
doesn't wake up (maybe that's the cause of problems with X). I would
consider using suspend2, but their homepage says it won't work with
T43 or T43p because of SATA problems. If this changes anything, my
model is 2668-F5G.

So, has anyone got their T43 to suspend (to disk and to ram)
correctly? If so, then how? I'm at the point where I would consider
switching to another distribution.

Thanks,
Domas
