    That's not true - at least in my case. I'm running Gentoo with the 2.6.7
    and the system is shutting down properly (including the soft-off)
    without the acpid. apmd is definitely not running since I don't have APM
    support enabled.
    The acpid is simply an event-handler for the ACPI-events. It can run
    script/command according to the event (e.g. pressing the power-button
    executes shutdown -h now).
