It *should*, if the board conforms to the APM specification.

The most important thing is to be sure that your Linux kernel is
compiled with APM support.  I think it is usually *not* in most
commercial Linuces for compatibility reasons.

The second most important thing is to have the apmd package.  It's not
necessary to run the apmd daemon, which provides battery logging and
more flexible event handling.  The package also contains the "apm"
command which has options like "--standby" and "--suspend", so you can
suspend by hand if you need.
