The acpid daemon logs all the events that it sees to /var/log/acpid
What is recorded there when you close and open the lid? or press
Fn-F4 (on my T30) to initiate sleep?
Based on what I saw there, I've created these files to make it work:
******* /etc/acpi/events/lid.conf *******
event=button/lid*
action=/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
******* /etc/acpi/events/sleep.conf *******
event=button/sleep*
action=/usr/sbin/pm-suspend

I don't know about the T20, but my T30 sleeps and hibernates properly
provided that I use pm-suspend and pm-hibernate, respectively.
Make sure you have installed the pm-utils package, eg,
yum install pm-utils
The other way of sleeping, acpitool -s , doesn't work.
There have been some changes in recent kernels. I'm currently running
kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 in which pm-suspend works correctly.
