My lsmod doesn't list any acpi module - but I have kacpid, kacpi_listen
and hald-addon-acpi processes running.
I have compiled the kernel with embedded ACPI support, not modular -
maybe that's what you are talking about?

I am not yet very good at kernel hacking - however yes, it gives me more
clues about identifying the issue (see also below link).

I will try to do it myself, however somebody else the same problem of
mine has already made the tests, please see

I will perform a test, however the problem rarely verifies in a VT
console. I have tried both the kbd and keyboard drivers of X, without
any difference. The keyboard problem happens a lot more when plugging in
the battery (more ACPI traffic?).
I have emerged lm_sensors but can't get it running - it keeps saying "No
sensors found!" and complaining about kernel drivers not properly setup.
I have attached the output of sensors-detect, from which it seems that
the kernel is OK.
Thank you,
