In what sense does it "not work"?

Related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144415, 
perhaps?

I have ACPI suspend working on my T41, but it takes some work to get the 
graphics chip to power down properly.  See the discussion at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022.

Not necessary.  acpi=off is all that's needed.  apm=on probably works as 
well.  The startup scripts are arranged so that acpid stops if apmd 
starts.
