Actually, I take that back. For Fn+F3, I dont see apmd doing anything. The
screen blanks out, the syslog reports:

Feb 26 16:50:23 localhost kernel: hda: lost interrupt

Is this a known issue that everyone knows about? I am concerned because my
hard disk crashed after two months of use. I am extra sensitive of
harddisk messages in the Syslog.
