Yes you are correct. (well mostly they're not entirely exclusive I
believe but in practice you use one of either usually).
I don't have acpi as a module but basically you'll probably just have
to install 'acpid' (which captures acpi events) and then maybe
"modprobe acpi" or something like that (check /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/acpi for modules you could load)
