I tried it on my T22, without damaging my thinkpad.

I can access now Fn-3, Fn-4 and Fn-12.
I have an working S1 sleepstate, an somewhat buggy S3 Sleepstate (sound
doesn?t works after resume) and an non working S4 sleepstate (system
hibernate to swap, but if I want to resume, the system is just booting
normally)

You need to configure the acpid daemon to use all the nifty buttons. On
gentoo, only the powerbutton works out of the box.
Use ibm-acpi, and read the README carefully, and use the ibm-thinkpad acpid
configuration example as base (but you need to change some values there,
too.
