Hi all.

On my Thinkpad T61 the volume buttons don't work.

I don't really know if this is the correct package to file the bug for, 
but I thought, since it is an acpi feature I'd try it here.

When I run acpi_listen I get events form the buttons in this form:

button/mute MUTE 00000080 00000000
button/volumedown VOLDN 00000080 00000000
button/volumeup VOLUP 00000080 00000000

So the buttons are registered somewhere and just don't trigger volume 
changes. The event names correspond to the action the button should do.

Where are those events processed normally? because they seem quite 
generic. Am I missing something? Some additional package?

Regards
  Andre Naujoks
