ah, sorry I got that mixed up "ls /sys/class/backlight/"
gives me "acpi_video0  acpi_video1  thinkpad_screen". All three access
the same backlight. thinkpad_screen uses 0-7 properly. The other two do
no. So that's no thinkpad-acpi problem.

That doesn't work for me:
$ echo 0xffffffff >/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_mask
$ cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_mask
0x00ffffff

and still no events for volume up/down/mute, <PgUp> (light)
