Hello,
I've been running Fedora on my Lenovo X61s laptop for many (Fedora) generations.
Fedora 15, however, was not my cup of tea, so I've decided to wipe out Fedora, and do a clean install of CentOS 6 (x86_64).
Everything works OK, except that the laptop does not suspend when I close the lid.
I've checked the settings in "Power Management", and it is set to suspend when the lit is closed, with or without AC power.
This has always worked in Fedora.
Suspending manually from the shutdown menu works.
No messages are logged in /var/log/messages when the lit is closed.
What have I overlooked?

Hello,
Probably the video driver is not working as it should, I have the same problem after installing the vendors proprietary drivers on my laptop.

It's standard Intel graphics on my laptop, no proprietary drivers.

Yes, in fact you already said in your OP that suspend works from the menu, so obviously the problem's not with the driver.
I had this same problem years ago and there was an easy fix. It was so long ago and the solution came to me so quickly, that today I can't remember exactly what I did. Generally though, I used some utility or application which binds a key to an action. To designate the key, I just had to press that key. (In linux, everything on the keyboard is a key, even the little stem that normally would hit the switch and invoke suspend. It's a key in the same way that 'a' and '$' are keys.) So after designating the key-- by pressing it-- I entered the command for suspend (which I had to search down).
Try looking at Foot -> System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (in Gnome). There's a "Sleep" item there that maybe can be configured to fix the problem.

When I was trying out the RHEL6 beta I saw this problem on a recent model top line Thinkpad T series. (A T500? It's not in front of me right now.) That machine is now running RHEL6.1 and hibernation is fine, evidenced by the fact that two days ago I unplugged it after forgetting to shut it down and it recovered just fine.
I don't recall if the fixed kernel was part of the initial RHEL6.0 or not, but you might find that as the CentOS updates catch up the problem may go away.
[And with respect to the 'Effecting CentOS change' thread, yes having an early RHEL test system with a license and submitting a bug report works wonders. I was motivated by wanting CentOS to work on my new laptop ...]
