That is in fact possible (given that you have the zapper) on certain
hardware with my pmpolicy patch

        http://john.snoop.dk/programs/linux/offbutton

It uses APM instead of ACPI because ACPI doesn't work on my
computer. I have an updated version of the patch for 2.4.2, but I
haven't got round to uploading it.
