Just to clarify this, you added the line after the "fi" and not inside the
"then" branch right? It wouldn't get run inside the "then".

With which version of acpi-support? Does it work again if you install an older version ?

Ah, just saw you mentioned this before, sorry, missed it.

Some Thinkpad stuff got removed by upstream but was re-added to the Debian
package later on because the kernel key handling failed on some systems. Not
sure what's going on on yours. Could you please run kacpimon and report which
events get generated?
