What exactly would you like to know?

The basic procedure is like this...
- download and install acpid, if not already on your system
- download, extract and compile ibm-acpi with make && make install
- ibm-acpi comes with good example configs and scripts, just copy them
to the /etc/acpi/events and /etc/acpi/actions dirs and modify them for
your needs
- you can watch the events triggered by keypresses with
  tail -f /var/log/acpid
