How about just stopping these services? You probably don't need a display manager at the moment, so "service gdm3 stop" gets rid of the gdm3 syslog spam, and hopefully of acpid's too.
Indeed, that stopped it.I'd had no idea gdm was a service that would alert if a physical display wasn't there. My mental model had been that display software would simply (always) write to some video hardware which would display on whatever display was plugged in, so I hadn't thought of there being a service, there.
Sven, thank you, Ron
