So I did a little more looking into the APM/ACPI. It seems the ACPI is integrated into most newer BIOS's. I did download the docs and several other tools. It seems Intel has created a language called ASL that is then compiled into AML which gives you output in C or several other of their options.
Has anyone ever used this? Could I get an example?

We have implemented such a thing for a customer. Unfortunately, my Windows/Graphics-fu is not so good - so I had to use a proprietary library to do the real APM management for the different graphic chipsets. I ended up getting a (non free) device driver and a DLL that allows me to say "turn monitor signal on/off". What I implemented on top of that is changes to VNC/TightVNC to call that code at the appropriate time (upon connection etc.etc.) I can obviously not share the driver/DLL stuff. I can and will share the VNC addons, if somebody is able to do provide such a APM-knowledgable library.
