I have successfully gotten the 2.6.2 Suspend-To-Disk Support working.  
It is based on swsusp but in the kernel.  I had to update my T23 to the 
latest Bios and Embedded Controller to get the ACPI warnings to go 
away.  I have a nice acpid handler that will suspend it to disk when i 
press Fn-F4.  Suspend to ram works as well but it kills my vesa 
framebuffer.  

To use the Suspend-To-Disk you need to have Sleep States support and 
then just do a 

echo -n disk > /sys/power/state

Works great for me.
