How can I make hardware keys work in a Thinkpad T500?  Vol+, Vol- & Mute are
only ones I would use. In other Linux distros the mute, vol+ & vol - keys
work.  A link to a way would be good enough for me.

I wrote a small HOWTO a few months ago about using F5-F6 to control
brightness:

but a similar procedure can be used for any control, with few
adjustments. Most of the trick is in understanding which event is
generated by each button.

Shout if you need further help.

    Hi.

    I tried it:, hitting fn+f5 gives the following:

root@apcnb98:/etc/acpi# acpi_listen
^[[15~

Hitting some keys produce a message similar to the one you say, bus most keys produce no output or one similar to the above. Some have an effect though, such as putting the laptop in sleep mode, which I understand. The association with the character sequence produced by the key and the button name must be configured somewhere.
