How about just stopping these services? You probably don't need a
display manager at the moment, so "service gdm3 stop" gets rid of the
gdm3 syslog spam, and hopefully of acpid's too.
Indeed, that stopped it.
I'd had no idea gdm was a service that would alert if a physical
display wasn't there. My mental model had been that display software
would simply (always) write to some video hardware which would display
on whatever display was plugged in, so I hadn't thought of there being
a service, there.
Sven, thank you,
