I have a T41 and I've recently switched to 2.6.9 and finally the suspend
to disk in the kernel works. Is there anything in the kernel log or other
logs? I have a radeon chipset (M9) and a part from a loss of performance
after a suspend, everything else works fine. And for alsa, what do you
have in /proc/asound/cards?

I'm using powernowd and X all the time. NO problem so far.

Can you see the mouse? I think you already tried to go back to console
(Alt+Ctrl+F1) and back to X. Have you tried to switch to console before
suspending and go back to X after?
