This is not LXDE related but kernel and acpid settings problem. However
I share info here cause I also got the same problem on my new thinkpad
laptop.

The way to solve it has two steps.

1st step, kernel module part:
- Run acpi_listen in console
- Press the hotkeys to make sure kernel sends the ACPI event out into
console

2nd step, acpid part:
- Adjust or write event/action scripts to update the sysfs for it.

Best regards,
