The 8.2 kernel does have ACPI built in, but for some strange reason SuSE 
doesn't start the ACPI daemon automatically.  As root, try "rcacpid 
start". If you decide to install SuSE, you can use the runlevel editor 
in YaST to make sure the daemon gets started automatically when you boot.

(This one had me scratching my head for a while too)
