Andy,
Do you have APM enabled in the Kernel - as a "yes" rather than
as "module"?
Also, there are a number of excellent references on laptops in
general and various specific models. The quiclest route I know
(not having the addresses handy) is via the "laptops" links
from Linux Hardware Database <http://lhd.zdnet.com> .
