Ok, when I add both options it works. Weirdly "--disable-acpi-acpi-proc"
Enables the acpi proc source and --disable-acpi-acpid disables the use
of acpid. As far as I understood if you want acpi support at all you
need "--disable-acpi-acpi-proc" and if you don't want to use acpid (=
use /proc/acpi/event directly) you need "--disable-acpi-acpid too".

If I'm right, this should be fixed in configure.
(--disable-acpi-acpi-proc source should be renamed to
--enable-acpi-acpi-proc)

When you tell me that's true I will file a bug in gentoos bugzilla
because the current package doesn't handle this correctly).
