I had my T22 working perfectly with ACPI using Fedora Core 4 until the
last few kernels before FC5 (and the problems continued into FC5.) I've
never figured out what's gone wrong, and the older kernels that "used to
work" are just too old to consider going back to.
Seems like under 2.6.15 and 2.6.16, tho, everything related to PM and
ACPI has gone to hell in a bitbucket. Even tpb(1) stopped working, I no
longer get onscreen display of the volume changes or
ThinkLight/brightness events. The volume buttons and Fn-PgUp/Home/End
still function, but tpb(1) resolutely refuses to admit that any activity
is coming out of /dev/nvram.
I'm stymied, personally. Sucks because at one point I was even using
cubbi's kernels to do suspend2 suspend-to-disk, now that stuff's crapped
out on me too.
The OSD and Fn-key combos still work booted into Win2000 so I know my
hardware didn't spontaneously get tired, nor did I let the blue smoke
out or anything bad like that.

You both seem to experience the same problem with ACPI on the T22 as
I did. The ACPI events stop working and if this happens, also
powerdown does not work any more.
Stop any process which might read /proc/acpi and try if this occurs
again. ACPI events can be followed with /usr/bin/acpi_listen.
