On my X31, when i load acpi_tpkey and start 'devd -dD', i get notifications 
only when pressing the Fn+F3 (screen blank) combination.
Am i missing something ?
More info about my setup can be found here : http//totalterror.net/freebsd/
I will gladly provide more info if needed.

P.S.: the acpi_tpkey_kldload.out file contains the console output, when i 
load the driver.
and the acpi_tpkey_notify.out file contains the message i get when pressing 
Fn+F3.
Any other special buttons, (AccessIBM, vol up/down, mute, brightness, key 
light) don't print notify messages, but they continue to work normal.
