dmesg does contain the messages from the last boot, doesn't it? In order
to access dmesg I need to reboot with acpi off and don't see anything
relevant in dmesg anymore, do I? 

I attached the syslog from boot until I hit the power off button. I
inlined the acpi part below and also a message from the x-server ... It
seems to me that acpi killed my screen?

On a sidebar I'd like to add that num-lock does still work. I am not
able to test if I would be able to access the machine by net, but I
would assume so.

Well, I am pretty open in that respect ;-) To be honest I don't have a
clue. The opposite would be to suspend to ram, right? 
I haven't set aside a dedicated partition on my disk for suspending. If
it is not doing it implicitly (swap space or something), than I would
say I use suspend to ram, right? It doesn't take long to suspend, just 3
to 4 seconds and I've got 256MB ram. That also adds to my assumption
that I am suspending to ram. 
The documentation isn't any help here and as this machine has never seen
anything else than debian I don't know what the other os does say.

swsup with acpi? Which script?

You wrote the script? Could you attach it? Is it part of debian?

Thank you for your help.
