Public bug reported:
After following the trace of my /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh, I found that
the error was in the getXconsole function of /usr/share/acpi-support
/power-funcs.
When asus-touchpad.sh is runned, it is runned as root (understandably),
but that makes this line fail:
displaynum=`ps t tty$console | sed -n -re 's,.*/X .*:([0-9]+).*,\1,p'`
since that only gets root's processes.
I changed it to:
displaynum=`ps at tty$console | sed -n -re 's,.*/X .*:([0-9]+).*,\1,p'`
and now it works like a charm.
Just thaught I should mention it, so that the authors can fix it, but
also so that other users with the same problem can fix it themself.
