I already have Fn+F8 toggling that (default behaviour of the acpi-support
package in Debian).

Must be missing something there?

That makes no difference here unfortunately. The keys were already enabled

I think that hald and X both listen to ACPI events somehow, perhaps one of
those can be told what to do...
