While the Ubuntu guys have done work in making the configuration easy for lid close/open etc, it's all about proper support from laptop manufacturers. If you have a DSDT that is hosed or tries to claim that it can only suspend under windoze (and *many* laptops do have such crappy DSDTs), then there's not much that you can do about it.
See... you define an ACPI specification and then all the manufacturers ignore it. Pity, really....
