I got this now but I feel somehow lost in space.

What I wonder most that disabling APM does not remove it from 
dmesg's output.

My main problem is that it is some time ago that I wrote drivers 
for Unix. I lost this feeling where to start looking for the problem.

I looked at the code in acpi.c but did not find any hints to 
continue with.

I was also able to install this:

It is a small utility to emulate the original behaviour of the 
"Fn" key on a P2120. It works as expected.

Do you know the name of the modules where the ACPI information is 
read from the BIOS and where the machine is actually shutdown and 
restarted again when the lid opens and closes.

Thanks!

Erich
