Hei,

I'm working on a tool that makes that possible, but it's only one
functionality, the tools purpose is theft protection. It's written in
python and solves the problem by connecting to acpid via it's socket.
So it can run in userspace and still get the ibm-acpi event.

I'll post a link when i have 0.2 ready.
Should be soon.

Andr=E9.
