I'm not too sure about APM but I know this (or something similar) can be
done with ACPI as it's what I do right now with my power button. Give
2.4's ACPI a go. If it doesn't work, see about trying the patches from
the acpi team (I believe Andrew Grover from Intel heads it). Also, don't
forget to install the acpid package.
