I'm using 2.6.30 from Debian backports.

Perhaps acpid was dead. I'm using acpid and eeepc-acpi-scripts packages
from testing (on my almost Lenny system), but I remember I had this
problem after a package upgrade : perhaps the acpi daemon had died
during upgrade. I tried « acpi_listen » and « lshal -m » to see if the
keys was detected (without success), but didn't check about acpid
existence, I take note, thanks !
