Thanks for the comments.  It sounds like I'm in for an uphill battle.

I'm still getting everything running (installing gentoo) and power 
management is my next task.  I'm going to give ACPI a shot since it 
seems to be more actively developed than apm.  I'll let you know about 
any success stories.
