Wrote new article — about how to use some ThinkPad-specific keys with FreeBSD. Most of the Fn-keys and volume control separate keys could be uses "as is" — the OS passes the proper and well-known keycodes (like XF86audioMute, etc) to the X server. But some keys needs some "black magic" (devd and acpi_ibm kernel module).
The bonus point — how to use ThinkLight to signal about low battery level with Morse code :drgn_aww:
