Bug 394290

I've installed beta 3 on my thinkpad T-60 and several of the special buttons do not work.  These include the screen brightness controls, mute, volume controls, & bluetooth radio.  Interesting is that many buttons do work, e.g., the led light on the monitor, suspend (I have not checked to see if this works, only that the button triggers the process), numlock, & the wireless radio switch (although the indicator light does not work, which I reported as a seperate bug).  There are a number of buttons, such as switching between the trackpoint and touchpad (I turned the touchpad off almost immediately), and the external monitor switch.

I checked & the only thinkpad related packages that were installed by default were connected to the fingerprint reader (libthinkfinger & pam_thinkfinger).  The tpctl kernel module and configuration tools were not installed, and no option for installing these or any other thinkpad-specific packages was offered during the installation.  These buttons should really work out of the box, and if particular packages need to be installed to do so, the hardware check should catch that this is a particular thinkpad modle that requires them.
