OK, seems like a T60 is not an option for us at all anymore.  Already
the Radeon X1000 series graphics chips are not very well supported (only
VESA), and there seems to be no free driver in sight - unfortunately,
Thinkpads don't come with NVidia chips.

Beware: Aaron did *not* report it working with APM, only with ACPI.  And
with ACPI he was only able to get suspend to disk working, not suspend
to RAM.
