I'm trying to use ACPI withou success. The kernel

drivers/acpi/system.c lacks the inclusion of linux/interrupt.h.

So add
#include <linux/interrupt.h>
to drivers/acpi/system.c and it should build.

I got acpid, but I got nothing more than mapping the
buttons (power and lid) to run what I desire. I wanna
know how I put it to sleep (suspend, and how to come
back)

Don't really know about but Pavel Machek is working on software suspend for
2.5 kernels. Tried it every now and then but it's not 100% working yet since
it's still under development as the whole 2.5 kernel is.
Better is you stickt to 2.4 kernels.
To get acpid work with 2.5 kernels you need a patch for acpid to get it to 
work with latest acpi.
