Re: acpilid works in single user but not in multiuser

Hmmm, looking closer at /etc/powerd/scripts/lid_switch it appears 
that powerd by default does pretty much nothing on a lid-switch event!

There's some calls to /usr/sbin/apm but they're commented out, and 
they're also conditionalized on whether apmd is running.

You might want to add a call to logger(1) to display the event on your 
console...
