It doesn't work. You can't use Suspend to RAM with APM. It is only
implemented in ACPI (for non Laptops).

ACPI S1/2 is something like the APM standby and suspend
ACPI S3 is Suspend to RAM (5W)
ACPI S4 is Suspend to disk
ACPI S5 is power off (like APM power off)


Unfortunately ACPI isn't implemented till now. You can get infos at:

I have another question. Is Avery also the maintainer of the APM
kernel part or "only" of the apm-deamon?
