The ACPI layer doesn't send X keycodes. The power key ought to generate 
linux keycode 116 (KEY_POWER) - how that's mapped to an X keysym will 
depend on the X keymap. If it's generating something other than 116, 
then that's probably something that needs fixing...

(Note that X and Linux keycode are entirely different, and the mapping 
between them is massively non-trivial)
