I think those are from the SWSUSP patch - which you may very well need.

ACPI does a lot more than APM ... when it works. However, it probably makes
no difference to you - APM isn't functional on my Inspiron, and probably not
on your more recent one. I've not got CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND to work, and
haven't recently tried the swsusp patch.

Only if you configure it. There's nothing there to do it automatically.
acpid is absolutely necessary. If you're using KDE, klaptopdaemon might
help.
