[SOLVED]Fn buttons on ThinkPad T400

Hi,
I've been trying to make ACPID work with my T400's Fn key, but I've got a problem. The Wiki says to press a Fn button and then look at /var/log/messages.log to determine how the keys are recognized. The problem is that every single buttons are recognized as :

ibm/hotkey / HKEY

That's not really useful if I want to map different actions to different buttons...

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Rognon

I didn't know about this program. I've done some research and it did the trick.

I've followed instructions that can be found here and here (the part about xbindkeys).

Thanks a lot!
