Hi,

today I got feedback from a user who has read the powersave
documentation (Yes, there are users who read docs ;-).
He was a little bit puzzled, that the documentation says
(docs/powersave.tex, line 70), that ACPID (amongst other daemons) must
not be running, because powersave would handle the ACPI functionality.
But the initscript says, that for a ACPI enabled system, a running acpid
is required (which is correct, now that hal and other processes also
need access to ACPI information, so powersaved can't exclusively grab
/proc/acpi/event). So I would suggest, to either delete ACPID from this
list of daemons, or rephrase the paragraph a bit. Stating that acpid is
required for an ACPI system, but should not process event itself,
something like this.
Comments?

Cheers,
Michael
