Hi
I tried experimenting but didn't get a solution yet
/proc/acpi seems only to be used by acpid:

COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE       NODE NAME
acpid   2142 root    3r   REG    0,3    0 4026532101 /proc/acpi/event

acpi_listen doesn't produce anything in normal operation. I see events
when closing and opening the lid but nothing else
Do you have any other hints what in the end solved your problems?

Thanks!
