thinkpad x230. problem with volume keys and other thinkpad-acpi stuff

Hi,

today I installed first time arch linux beside Win7 and Debian Wheezy/SID.
It needed a bit more time than I expected to setup the system so that I can do normal things with it, but now its set up nearly good.

Actually I have the problem that, unlike to Debian, the Thinkpad special keys don't work or some of them work but there is actually nothing what displays it, that I, e.g. higher the volume or increase the brightness..

I've googled a lot and searched in this forum and wikis, but no howtos or something else helps for me.. I only found that thinkpad-acpi is installed by default and one it should work. In another source it's said that thinkad-acpi should not longer be used after kernel 2.6...

I'm really confused by this and I hope I'm at the right thread here.

Thanks in advance

Maybe it's https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32047 ?

I really don't know if this is the problem?
There it says that it is an actual bug which maybe fixed in a few days?
