there are two other programs that i forgot about.  sorry.  you also
need to be sure that olpc-switchd and olpc-kbdshim are running in
init 2.  these are support programs that help powerd.

(you didn't say what software version you are running on your XO-1.
on recent systems, olpc-kbdshim is a standalone daemon, but on
earlier systems its invoked via hal.)
