So, it works out-of-the-box without help, that's good. I am at a loss trying to think of anything useful the driver could could do with the 6005 event. Maybe userspace might want to show a "Fn" indicator in the taskbar or something, but that's about it. It looks like something that will remain vendor-specific, too. However, the event is missing some in-band information about the final state (next use, lock, unlock) which would be required to write a GUI hint. It is likely available elsewhere (in the ACPI DSDT or in an ACPI SSDT, most likely). Can you send me the (gzipped) output of dmidecode and acpidump for your thinkpad?
