Power management does not work out of the box as ACPI is unsupported on this laptop but it does support APM.
pacman -S apmd
Edit the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf accordingly. You may also want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the following to the kernel line:
acpi=off apm=power_off nolapic noapic
