I have a T61 so a very similar setup. Suspend key (Fn+F4) does work
fine, hibernate doesn't. I mean, it's not detected, so I can select the
action in the preferences. You can see upstream bug about this at
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5230

Basically, it doesn't appear in lshal, that's why it's not taken by
xfpm. You might want to check if same thing happens for you for the Fn
+F4 key.

Same here, lshal -m correctly reports the event, but the (hibernate)
button doesn't appear in lshal.

Basically, it seems to lie in hal. Before reassigning, could you attach
the result of lshal so we can check?
