Yeap the problem was with the hotkey mask . The issue here is in the acpi-support package in ubuntu. When loading thinkpad-acpi they use the options, from file /etc/modprob.d/thinkpad-acpi.modprobe: options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff8f experimental=1 Changing this to: options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffffff experimental=1 fixes the issue. I will file a bug with the patch. Hopefully it will get in. I have other patches for bugs in acpi-support in Ubuntu and it appears nobody is paying them any attention. Here is to hopping some one will get this fix in there too. On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 9:45 AM, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, 21 Feb 2008, Jerone Young wrote: > > My bad.
