My problem may have been different; closing the lid was not a workaround in my case. However, I was able to get sleep working with the following changes:
Changing /etc/default/acpi-support as follows: -- change to SAVE_VBE_STATE = false -- change to POST_VIDEO = false Creating /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi with the following contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO"> <merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> This information was from the following links: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_(Hardy_Heron)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#Suspend_with_Nv140m http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#How_to_Suspend_with_nVidia_140m.2F570m The second link also talks about fixing wireless after multiple suspends, and changes to hibernation settings. I haven't tested any of that.
