Probably ;-)
I had a similar prolblem with my ACER Aspire 1300. After I installed acpi,
all worked well (except for one minor, well known problem: the battery
status can not allways be read...). Maybe you should try acpi, either with
a debian kernel (I use 2.4.20) or with a clean kernel and the acpi patches
(sourceforge). I might be that your laptop does not support apm (or is at
least unhappy when you are trying to use ist). You might also want to
check at
<www.tuxmobil.org>
for information about what does work under linux and how to get there.
