Do compile it *with* the deprecated /proc/acpi stuff.  Chances of your
userspace being able to deal with the ACPI netlink interface are close to
zero.

The problem is that the X.org evdev driver is, basically (and to put it
nicely), not in a good state right now.  You could use it, and it will work
somewhat, but half the keycodes don't get through evdev, so you will have to
change thinkpad-acpi's keymap until you find keycodes that do.
