Any idea if the ThinkPad Fn features work? (Fn+spacebar), (Fn+F5) and how about sleep and hibernate? Does that work in Linux reliably now?

The FN Keys, for the most part work(FN+Spacebar not yet) But all my other ones work out of the box, including sleep and hibernate.

A blog post about it can be found here

The official Lenovo site about SUSE Linux can be found here.

SUSE Linux actually looks quite cool. At least in the video provide on the official Lenovo page.
This certainly brings me one step closer to switching to Linux. At least if they support all or most features in this Linux distro.

Fn+space doesn't work out of the box, but you can configure it to work. Problem is finding a matching magnification program, the one in Compiz seemed to match well.
