The following Work with APM
Fn-F3 (screen blank)
Fn-F4 (suspend [to ram])

I haven't tried Fn-F7 - but I guess - it should work.

Unlike ACPI (where the battery drains to 25% in 4 hours of S3) - APM
supsend works for days at a stretch. So there is no real need to
configure 'Fn-F12/hybernation' with APM.

The only thing I miss from ACPI is the 'CPU Temperature Sensor' -
which can be viewed in gkrellm :)
