Yes it is related to ACPI. You may have to recompile your kernel to turn on certain ACPI features IF your laptop will run ACPI properly.
Hi Jack, Now that you tell me you a "BLACK LETTER" LAWYER, I will forgive you for YELLING AT ME ;) Seriously, this may be a dumb question, but does your laptop have a screen saver ??? If so, can you set the screen saver to "blank" ??? It wouldn't solve your problem of the screen not shutting off when you closed the lid, but It should reduce power consumed.
