There was a patch by Takanori Watanabe that got the thing

That is strange, I have APM working fairly well on my 1690. The only
thing that doesn't work is suspend to disk (Compaq or Phoenix have done

suspend to memory with a script that defeats the (apparently) hardwired
fallback to disc after one hour.
