It doesn't on the T41p, I had to hack in some lines to rmmod the drivers
in some apm scripts, and hand instert them on resume, and even then it
didn't always survive a suspend/resume cycle.

The thing that made me go to ACPI though was the useless battery life with
suspend to ram in APM. Probably it would have been OK with suspend to
disk, but I'm impatient, and I couldn't get it to work anyway.

On the downside though - I have the problem that my USB ports stop working
after I suspend and resume. I havent really looked at a fix yet.
