You probably need a more recent kernel. Paul and I just added this
feature for wallstreet and lombard 1 or 2 weeks ago.

No, Power Management on powerbooks is not (yet) APM compliant. We still
have to finish some of the hard-core stuffs (to power up/down devices)
and then we'll look into APM.
Battery monitoring currently requires a specific tool (Batmon) which
works only on PowerBooks 3400 (eventually 2400). The PMU (the power
manager microcontroller in the powerbook) uses different commands on each
revision of the PowerBook motherboard and we didn't figure out the exact
format of the returned infos for the other machines.

I don't know if Paul merged our sleep work in 2.3.x yet. Good luck with
swsup and tell us if it works ;-)
