Well (on FC2) that file is indeed there but its value never changes from
0 regardless of whether the power lead is plugged in or I'm on
batteries. This is on a Dell Inspiron 8200:

$ sudo /sbin/service acpid status
Password:
acpid (pid 2213) is running...

I thought that what the OP was asking was whether the laptop-mode-tools
located at http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/index.html were
going to be included in FC3 ...
