Ah sorry, your question was about suspending... 
The thing with using xset was, that you can use it to power off the
display without closing the lid *manually* (my t-modell has a hard-coded
"switch" at the lower left corner of the display). useful for scripting
some actions according to the power-state (ac vs. battery).
