Yes, I'm saying that pressing the power button for a short moment has
no visible effect on the machine / os. Keeping it pressed for a
certain moment (>4sec?) powers down the machine instantly.

$ ls /proc/acpi/
alarm button dsdt event gpe info processor sleep
Could it be that I'm missing a single script which would be called
