The T60, yes.  T43 as well.  X40 not (so T20 is rather unlikely, and T40 I
am not sure about yet).  I am still compiling a list of the machines.

You can easily find out by loading the driver.  Check the documentation in
Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt, it will tell you where the keys are, and
there is an attribute that tells you if they are supported or not.

I will add NVRAM polling emulation for those thinkpads that do not support
the keys in interrupt mode since the firmware tells me without any doubts
when that should be needed, but I haven't finished that yet.
