I've got this exact same system.  You need to add the following to 
your /boot/device.hints to fix the mouse resume issue:
hint.psm.0.flags="0x3000"

Also the issue about poor battery life under ACPI S3 suspend (I believe your 
APM terminology is incorrect since APM suspend has good battery life, but 
other stuff breaks) is that certain devices aren't shutdown fully since they 
aren't in the 2110's DSDT and the drivers don't shut them down as the should.  
To get a significantly better battery life you will need to search through 
the archives of this list and look for the acpi_video DPMS patch posted by 
jhb.  This will make things much better, but there are still a few things 
that need to be fixed in the drivers.
