anything that seems likely to talk to ACPI. Some of those utilities are

I'm sorry if I'm an idiot, but how did
you disable ACPI? Did you just
remove it from the kernel when you were compiling? In the BIOS or
something else? Do you just kill acpid?
Oh, *I'm* sorry, I left that out.
I put "acpi=off" behind the kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst as described
in the first post here:

After that the battery-monitor in xfce stops reporting anything, so I
guess that's an indication that acpi is really off.
