Brix,
my friend. Thank you for trying to help.

Doesn't seem to work.

I have ibm-acpi in /etc/modules
After booting lsmod shows ibm_acpi loaded (size 16508 used by 0)
As the last line in /etc/modules.conf I have:

### manually added by RJA to enable the special Thinkpad key handling
### of the ibm-acpi module present in the 2.6.10 kernel
options ibm-acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1

ran depmod -a

rebooted

tail -f /var/log/acpid

does not show any event when I press Fn+F12

What am I doing wrong ?

FWIW The /etc/modules.conf says it should not be edited manually but 
generated by update-modules but the man page for the latter says this 
command is obsolete !!!

Thank you for any help,
Bob
