Sorry, I don't think I was clear last time. It's not that there is no APM support for VAIO -- it's that it's broken. When the system recovers from a suspend, everything will lock after 3-5 seconds (before this, the keyboard and mouse will work perfectly.)
I have included the writup of my syslog that I promised. It may not be exact -- I had to copy it manually since the system freezez before it is written to the hd:
This is what my syslog reads when returning from a system suspend:
apmd[985]: System Suspend

******************************************************************
If I enter a suspend while the system is first booting up , everything will work perfectly (keyboard works, mouse works, etc) until... well, here's the print-up:

Mounting loopback filesystems: [ OK ]
Loading keymap: us [ OK ]
Loading compose keys: compose.latin.inc [ OK ]
The BackSpace key sends: ^? [ OK ]

Initializing firewire controller (ohci1394): [ OK ]
Building Window Manager Sessions [ OK ]
insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
********************************************************************
Once again, I want to reiterate that I know for a fact that this problem did not exist in Mandrake 8.0. If anyone has any idea why this problem formed between 8.0 and 8.2 (I never tested 8.1), that would be great.
As for now, I'm going to do more research into the problem -- Chao

Just add "acpi=off" to the append line in lilo.conf (or the
configuration file for whatever bootloader you use :>). Then you'll get
APM.

ACPI works very well on my C1XD; suspend doesn't seem to work, however.
(At least not with "cat 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep", which is the only method
I've heard of to invoke a suspend under ACPI.
