CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT disabled -> userspace not working (Was: Re:CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER to be removed in 2.6.39)

I just disabled the 3 'deprecated' within ACPI and ACPI userspace is not working
any longer. I'm using Gentoo so I doubt my userspace is too old. acpid doesn't
somehow listen to events when CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT is not set:

"Say Y here to retain the old behaviour.  Say N if your
user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23 (September 2007)."
