Great!  Kudos to Fujitsu for getting back to you so quickly with a
working solution.

...though if you think about it, the whole thing is absolutely hideous:
an *ACPI* driver requires cooperation from a *video* driver to notify
the operating system about a *key press*.  Please, make it more
complicated, I mean, sending i8042 interrupts when keys are pressed is
so 1985 and it simply cannot work reliably.
