This is JUST WRONG. APM supports other things like battery power level interrogation and standby/suspend states. In fact, I'm not sure it has anything to do with displays at all - isn't that solely the province of DPMS?

I agreed with you, so I removed all mention of displays and instead included a hyperlink to the entry on power management, which in turn links to DPMS. I think the APM entry should be expanded to include examples of things that the OS can ask the firmware for (e.g. suspend) and things that the firmware can tell the OS about (e.g. loss of mains power or a battery that's running low). - ASB.
