after some updates, the volume and brightness buttons on my thinkpad T42 stopped sending acpi events. they still controll the hardware, so changes in volume and brightness can still be made.
output of acpi_listen while pressing these buttons is non.
echo enable,0x00ffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey worked before the lastest update but not anymore.
I get no OSD and cannot controll alsamixer or kmix with the buttons.
any ideas?

It is! I can't figure out which keymay is working corretly, loading keymap module-ibm places the volume buttons on some other keys of the keyboard but makes them work.
As its not a major problem, waiting for an udev update is my solution for now!
Thanks for your research!

How about trying the module-lenovo keymap, I think the the T41 was probably IBM branded but Lenovo designed and built.
EDIT: Also make sure you've got the correct input* device, on my T61 it changes every boot so I'm just going to wait as well.

Maybe useful to anyone else with a similar problem;
Quick fix: change your RUN+="keymap $name keymap" to RUN+="keymap input/$name keymap"
