APM may work better. It may not work at all.

I posted a detailed description of using APM on a ThinkPad yesterday and
almost all of it (excluding the ps2 references) are applicable to any
system that has APM support.

See "5.1b2, configuring kernel for ThinkPad x20" in the archives. It
requires that the apm driver be loaded at boot time, not just a hit file
change. (Though that is also required.)
