It's very strange if you have an AMD64 laptop which doesn't work with
ACPI. What model of laptop is it?
Other than the known broken suspend /resume with ATI proprietary linux
drivers (issue 218 on the ATI website) I would have thought that every
laptop made in the last couple of years would have reasonable ACPI
support. For an AMD64-based model I would think it even more likely.
I would suggest you ask some questions on the debian-amd64 list, where
you will likely find someone with the same model laptop who can tell you
exactly what you need to know. I think most of the advice so far has
all been the-sort-of-thing-to-fiddle-with-on-i386-laptops, but doesn't
apply to AMD64.
