Hello,

The error regarding the "/var/run/acpid.socket" means that you don't
have acpid installed, nor running. I don't know if the fault has
something to do with that.

It may be a good idea to emerge sys-power/acpid and add it to your
default runlevel: rc-update add acpid default

Also, add Option "UseEDID" "false" to your xorg.conf under the nVidia
Device section.  It fixes a lot of issues.
