You need to compile the kernel with _all_ ACPI options enabled (I only say
that because I neglected to do that the first time and thought I'd
enabled ACPI :) and then you need to install acpid which provides some
utilities which actually talk ACPI with the kernel.
I now, after exiting X gracefully, just hit the power switch and power
down cleanly.
