Success. 

The dead USB problem on my X61s with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) after resuming
from suspend has been fixed by upgrading the kernel to 2.6.24.

Thanks to Peter Fruehberger for guiding me through the process and
providing an appropriate .config file for the kernel build.

Since performing the upgrade last night, I have performed 3-4 suspends
and the USB slots are still working!  I still have 

 acpi_sleep=s3_bios

in my kernel options for the backlight problem. Not sure if that is
needed anymore.

Details of how I did it are in the blog at:
