Sleeping works perfectly on my T43. In fact, I have verified that I can fiddle things in /etc/acpi to make it so closing the lid does anything I want. (I suppose I could have it issue a command to a remotely connected X10 radio bridge that turns off the lights around my desk... heh :-) ) You've got to check out ThinkWiki.
