It seems to retry about once per second indefinitely. I'm not sure why acpid died, and restarting it fixes things, but it seems excessive to retry so often and generate a huge log file.

from hw/xfree86/ os-support/ linux/lnx_ acpi.c:
/* in milliseconds */
#define ACPI_REOPEN_DELAY 1000
but apparently that's all unnecessary by now, since the xserver should be getting all relevant acpi events from the keyboard, so the acpi-code could be dropped altogether.
