Thanks Brad, I just installed acpid before I recieved your mail. I 
noticed that when I do tail -f /proc/acpi/events and hit a function 
key/power button nothing happens. Is this normal? I thought I would test 
this before using acpid. It seems acpid doesn't detect my button 
presses. I'm on kernel 2.6.4

Thanks,
