It seems that a lot of "the laptop just doesn't wake up" problems can be
solved by appending "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" to your kernel's boot line in
grub.conf .
Basically, you probably want to write ascript that's called whenever you
press a key combination on your laptop.
Here's what I do on my laptop. And since this is the first laptop I've
ever used ACPI on, it is probably a bit rough at the edges. Also, unless
you have the same laptop I do, you will probably still need to make
some changes.
