Hello Henrique, I'll go into what you mentioned below (to make sure I answer all your suggestions and questions). > > Number one rule for these things: if it is working without an ACPI module > loaded, do NOT load it.

Video *can* help you with that. Try it.

The only thing that does something, is the mute button; it mutes. Also vol up and vol down undo the mute, but that's all. > > I loaded the thinkpad_acpi module with: experimental=1 > > hotkey=enable,0xffff fan_control=1 > > You have more event-driven hot keys than that in your thinkpad.

I only have: hotkey_bios_enabled hotkey_enable hotkey_bios_mask hotkey_mask in /sys/bus/platform/devices/thinkpad_acpi/ How is that possible?
