The ACPI event will be "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005". If you are
using acpid, create a file in /etc/acpi/events with the following
contents:

event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005
action=/script/to/execute

The 010 is for the mask which controls which hotkey events are
enabled. Unless you specifically want to NOT enable some hotkey event,
just do:

echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

or, when loading the module:

modprobe ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff

If you don't have bluetooth, you don't need to mess with
/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth at all.

Yes.
