This sentence is true for apmd, ospmd, cpufreqd and other frequency scaling daemons as cpudynd, cpuspeed. So I will not delete it. But you are right, mentioning acpid as daemon, that must not be run is not entirely correct. On an acpi system, acpid has to run (otherwise other processes, like hald, X, will fail, because they all try to open /proc/acpi/event exclusively). Nevertheless it is important to ensure that acpid does not process events itself but merely forwards the acpi events to powersaved (e.g. /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh must not get executed by acpid itself, things like this are handled (better) by powersaved. Maybe I will add a comment like this to this section. Do you think this makes it clear enough? Cheers, Michael
