It certainly seems that way with a vanilla 2.4.24 kernel, no big problem
for me (except I quite like having the cpu temp in my shell prompt). 

With apm everything works, including hibernate to file in hidden fat16
partition (the file created with tphdisk).

Fn keys probably send different codes on different machines :)

showkey shows nothing on press/release Fn, although the kernel logs it
thus: 

    kernel: keyboard: unknown scancode e0 63

so it should be trappable somehow.
