Have you APM enabled in BIOS? It works fine on my Intel AL440LX APM 1.2 compatible board. And I see no difference between laptops and ATX boards from APM point of view. ..btw I see no code in 2.2-stable branch to power down laptop. RB_POWEROFF is not analized anywhere in kernel. I do not pretend my patch to be hard done job or very urgent - it's very simple and obvious - but it adds functionality to 2.2 branch. And to me it's better than nothing. That's all.
