You can use either APM or ACPI for powermanagement (not both at the same time). With FC2 the default is ACPI. When you use the kernel boot option "acpi=off" - ACPI is disabled and APM is enabled.
Now the userlad 'apmd' can interact with the kernel & provide the apm functionality (Fn-F4 for suspend etc..)

Thank you again, Satish. By the way, should I use apmsleep or is there some other alternative to use with ACPI?
Does APM work for you or not?
If ACPI were to work - you would do the following to send the laptop to sleep (as root):
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
