I've also got issues with apm on my laptop (and could never get acpi to work 
correctly...) My machine is a Compaq 700-RSH with the following vitals:

        1 GHz Duron
        128 MB RAM
        VIA vt82c686 Apollo Super ACPI [bridge_other]
        VIA vt82c686 Apollo Super [bridge_isa]
        VIA vt8363/6365 KT133/KM133 AGP [bridge_pci]
        VIA vt8363/6365 KT133/KM133 [bridge_host]
        Running Mandrake 9.0 with Mandrake stock kernel build.

The problems I'm having are: battery doesn't show up with APM (same as last 
post more than likely ACPI related.) When I halt the system, it will not 
power down, requiring me to manually shut it off with the Fn + power button. 
Finally, if I reboot, it locks up after reboot at the Compaq BIOS screen. 
This part I'm thinking is that the BIOS is trying to find values that it 
expects at reboot that just aren't there so it hangs. If anybody else on the 
list has these problems and have worked them out let me know.
