Sounds like the problem I have on my R40... :-/  I will troubleshoot it this weekend. I suspect that XFree86 and/or KDE is causing the problem. What I do for now is to log-out from KDE to get to the Display Manager and then I press Fn+F4 to suspend.

You say that apm doesn't work, but do you get the battery-indicator?

This is the config I use for 2.6.3:

CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPED is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_INITRD=y
