The command that you want is "apm -s", which is the equivalent of Fn-F4.
Under Mandrake, it should "just work", but first, you have to give
yourself the permissions to use it. Look in KDE -> Configuration -> Power
Management -> Laptop Power control.
It tells you that you need to make /usr/bin/apm setuid root, and gives
instructions on how.
