Ah. Well, with running hald manually, I still do not see messages from addon-acpi.c when hitting my hibernate button.

Perhaps I'm confused - you'd mentioned sleepbtn.sh in the original description?

The suspend script in /usr/lib/hal don't seem to be executable directly, but if I run the following command from it, it sleeps correctly (although keyboard stops working on resume - but that's a different problem).

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.Hal" /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

Near as I can tell, X is propagating the Fn+F1 key for me up as the XF86Standby event, which I can map to suspend in gnome-keybindings-properties. Looking in the gdm source code, this should invoke the SuspendCommand listed in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, which is specified to be /usr/sbin/pm-suspend. Invoking that manually also seems to work (with the same keyboard issue). I think that is invoking the kernel suspend directly, not going through hal.
