[ltp] T61p and FN-Key

Hallo,
 
to be honest I'm pretty confused about the different aproaches to get fn-key 
working on thinkpads.
I'm looking especially for a solution on a t61p.

I'm just installed
 
 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #2 SMP x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9500 @ 2.60GHz 
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Sound buttons (160,174,176) work since I used this .Xmodmap
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 159 = XF86LaunchA
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute 
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 227 = F35
keycode 233 = XF86Forward
keycode 234 = XF86Back

The other assignments don't work.

Light-brigthening keyboard light works out of the box.

Suspend-to-ram works via kde and klaptop after enabling acpi, but not by the 
fn-f4 combinations.


Furthermore I just installed acpid with the options

cat /etc/modules.d/ibm-acpi 
options ibm_acpi experimental=1 hotkey=enable,0xffef

which I got from an t60 installation instruction.

But I can't see the example scripts.
Does anyone has a working script, keycodes for a new t61p ?

Do I need acpid beside thinkpad_acpi at all ?

 dmesg | grep   acpi
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1])
ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1])
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.19
thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 7LETC1WW (2.21 ), EC 7KHT24WW-1.08
thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad T61p
thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled
thinkpad_acpi: standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading native 
one...


Any hints and links to actual information would be greatly appreciated !
