I have noticed as well that my fix wasn't persistent. So i search the web once again and found a work around :
1) Edit /etc/rc.local $ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local 2) add before return 0 : #Fix for the hotkey, added the 10/31/2009 echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey 3) create and edit a script for the resume : $ sudo touch /etc/acpi/resume.d/91-tp-hotkey-fix.sh $ sudo gedit /etc/acpi/resume.d/91-tp-hotkey-fix.sh 4) add the following in the script : #!/bin/bash # fix thinkpad-hotkeys echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey 5) close and save. I have rebooted and my hotkeys were still making the OSD appears.
