	One that loads you should have access to the buttons. Volume Up/Down will display and actually change the volume. The Mute button will actually mute the audio, however you won't see any indication of it sadly.		One that loads you should have access to the buttons.

		+
		+	Also of note it seems the media buttons (fn+ left,right,up,down) which are next, stop, play, previous, seem to work within some applications within gnome as well. Basically anything that can handle the X/Gnome shortcut key can make use of these buttons.
		+
		+	=== Extra Thinkpad buttons extras ===
		+
		+	So many of the buttons can be made to work without too much issue, sadly however there are a few buttons that might be useful. Here are a couple of quick scripts to help with that:

		+	event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005
		+	action=/usr/local/sbin/bttoggle
		+
		+	'''Note:''' it seems the last bit in the HKEY (00001005) does seem to cleanly map to the FN key thus 00001005 is F5 and 00001008 maps to F8.
		+
		+	Next create an executable script (chmod +x) in '''/usr/local/sbin/''' called '''bttoggle'''
		+	#!/bin/bash
		+	INFO=/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
		+	STATE=$( grep "status" "${INFO}" \| awk '{ print $2;}' )
		+	case "${STATE}" in
		+	enabled)
		+	echo -n "disable" > $INFO
		+	;;
		+	disabled)
		+	echo "enable" -n > $INFO
		+	;;
		+	*)
		+	echo "usage: disable, enable"
		+	esac
		+
		+	restart acpid: sudo service acpid restart
		+
		+	==== Touchpad enable / disable ====
		+
		+	This does assume you have the synaptics tools installed and setup properly, but...
