See my mails to linux-acpi. Hibernate = sleep to disk, suspend = sleep
to ram, and sleep = sleep type not indicated or unknown. This is how
it is in Xorg and the session now.

Mapping KEY_SUSPEND to hibernate is just insane. Can you please change
the toshiba driver to use KEY_HIBERNATE and KEY_SUSPEND as thinkpad
now does? Thanks.
