You might want to use the command acpi_listen and see if Fn+F12
generates an acpi event.  If so, just have the machine run the hibernate
script you mention below when the button's pressed.

I'm not on an IBM machine at the moment, but I remember having to do
something like that on my wife's Thinkpad to get suspend-to-disk to
work.

My wife's thinkpad suspends-to-disk/resumes more reliably if the
(prism54 cardbus) wireless card and modules are removed before the
suspend.  Hers is an older model thinkpad, though.h
