X40 is old

Time to get a new laptop; Linux works on this one. (Not really; I'm quite happy with the laptop.) I just upgraded to 2.6.10 and found that it works. In particular suspend to memory seems to work. Also, a lot of the fiddly little IBM bits like control of bluetooth, control of various hotkeys, control of video are now understood by Linux.

I see about 6% battery drain in 8 hours. Not great, but quite acceptable for suspending the laptop while the plane lands or while walking across campus.
