No, acpi-support only translates old ibm/hotkey events to the correct key
events.

Which shows that your input layer already gives the right key events.

It depends on which graphical user interface you use. First of all using a
Thinkpad there's a good chance that you have a hardware mixer that does process
the events but doesn't display anything. I'm not sure though that your model
has this hardware mixer. If not you need some software reacting on the key
event. For me KDE handles this part of it.

Feel free to reassign this bug elsewhere as there doesn't seem to be a bug in
acpi-support.
