Yes, you can. When you first load the driver, Fn-F5 will continue to
work the same way. If you then enable hotkey events and set the mask
to include Fn-F5 (see the README for the full details), Fn-F5 will
instead generate an ACPI event. Using acpid, you can set a script to
run on this event. You can do whatever you want in the script,
including controlling Bluetooth via /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth.
