You've purged apmd, but i think you didn't deinstall powermgmt-base ?
If it was totally unnecessary then apt-get remove would have taken it out
of the sytem when I purged ampd, yeah? It looks like it's needed for both:
powermgmt-base, is supposed to work for both apm and acpi. I recall at
one point rewriting the on_ac_power script, because it didn't work for
acpi, but it _was_ supposed to. I think it's fixed now.
Is it the same as the PMTools at the very bottom of this page?

Not at all. PMtools will never replace powermgmt-base because it's
intended for acpi. It's a work-in-not-much-progress :-)
/usr/bin/on_ac_power
/usr/bin/apm_available
/usr/bin/acpi_available
This is just to make it a little simpler for scripts that might need to
do different things depending on your power management (like on_ac_power).
Do you still have a /dev/apm_bios ( or was it /dev/misc/apm_bios) ?
Would you please make a try renaming it, just prophylactic ...
...
debian:/home/emmajane# mv /dev/apm_bios /dev/apm_bios.bak
(I'm so trusting...)
Didn't hurt when he told _me_ to try it :-)

I don't know. You seem to have poked into a lot of stuff yet.
No dsl here, only a little electrostatic random amplyfier pretending to be a
modem.
/grin/ That was too funny not to acknowledge in my response. :)
LOL. I'm on a cell modem, which that describes almost perfectly.
Apr 17 10:09:49 debian kernel: ACPI: System firmware supports S0 S3 S4 S5
Interesting - no S1. Not uncommon, but you'd think S1 would be simple
enough...
Remember that /etc/acpi/event is NOT the same as /etc/acpi/events
the first is a file, the second is a directory. I hope that the missing
files show up when I patch the kernel.
Not /etc files. They would come from installing packages. I think you
probably meant /proc/acpi/event - which should come with the kernel patch.
Who knows. Is atd yours? (Is now a good time to admit I grew up using macs?)
There's never a good time to admit that ;-)
So then I rebooted and checked out the BIOS. (You said I only needed to do
this *once* in my lifetime, right?) I couldn't find anything that looked
remote screensaverish. The only option I found was SpeedStep[TM] which was
on "Maximum Performance" and I switched that to "Recommended." I also
disabled the Hot Key beep. Beeping is never good in my books. I found
Once you get through all this, you'll want to check out cpufreq, then.
Should be able to play with the speedstep settings dynamically.
