Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce your results.

My thinkpad model: 6457-B51

I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Beta 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD 
and burned the ISO image.

I did a full clean install, specifying "safe mode" for graphics.  I then 
did an apt-get update followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade.  Then a full 
reboot.

I then downloaded an installed:

After a full reboot, I saw the NVIDIA splash screen and was no longer in 
safe graphics mode.  I then followed your instructions, and then did 
another full reboot.  The only thing odd I noticed is that there 
previously was *not* a "Module" section in the xorg.conf, so I simply 
added one.

I enabled the suspend option on lid closing.  And then closed the lid 
and waited approximately 30 seconds.  When I reopened it, the screen was 
blank, and even Ctrl-Alt-F1 was not sufficient to get it back.

I appreciate the work you have done in documenting how you got it to 
work for you, and hope that this can be generalized.
