The bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate ACPI
-events. Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that
-can be modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually
-controlled by the mask. Most recent ThinkPad models honor the
-following bits (assuming the hot keys feature has been enabled):
-
- key bit behavior when set behavior when unset
-
- Fn-F3 always generates ACPI event
- Fn-F4 always generates ACPI event
- Fn-F5 0010 generate ACPI event enable/disable Bluetooth
- Fn-F7 0040 generate ACPI event switch LCD and external display
- Fn-F8 0080 generate ACPI event expand screen or none
- Fn-F9 0100 generate ACPI event none
- Fn-F12 always generates ACPI event
-
-Some models do not support all of the above. For example, the T30 does
-not support Fn-F5 and Fn-F9. Other models do not support the mask at
-all. On those models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually.

Note that enabling ACPI events for some keys prevents their default

Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through
ACPI. For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM"
