ACPI is not fully supported on all systems. E.g. I get the Battery applet 
working fine on my HP/Compaq Presario 2133, and I can cat 
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temprature to get the current system/cpu 
temp, but things like suspect/hibernate don't work yet.

you could try the swsusp (software suspend) package, tho I've never tried 
it so I can't vouch for its usefullness.
