ACPID needs to be running before the Xserver starts. 

The Xserver will try to open /var/run/acpid.socket which is what acpid
provides when it's started. If the Xserver can't open it, then it will
open /proc/acpi/events directly which causes acpid to fail.

So really, acpid should be moved up in Fedora boot process.
