Thanks Raymond, I have this in my /etc/acpi/events/default:
==========================
event=button[/]power.*
action=/usr/sbin/hibernate
==========================
but nothing happens or gets logged when I press the power button. Could this
be something to do with the /etc/acpi/default.sh file perhaps? I vaguely
remember hacking it unashamedly in the mist of time to get the button
working.
==========================
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/default.sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
set $*
group=${1/\/*/}
action=${1/*\//}
device=$2
id=$3
value=$4
log_unhandled() {
logger "ACPI event unhandled:
$*" }
case "$group" in
button)
case "$action" in

/sbin/init 0

Can you spot anything out of place?
