Toan,

make sure that in additional to right permission to /dev/nvram, nvram
kernel module being loaded etc. the kmilo service is configured to run
at the startup. You can check this in Kcontrol -> KDE Components ->
Service Manager. Make sure that KMilo is in the "Startup Services"
section.

Second, goto KControl -> System Administration -> IBM Thinkpad Laptop.
In that make sure that Run Thinkpad Buttons KMilo plugin is checked.
Also chekc the "Change volume in software" button if you have R30/R31
etc.

restart KDE and the buttons should be working. If they still do not
work make sure thta tpb works fine and then recheck all the KControl
settings.
