Yes, its loaded:
lsmod | grep -E "(acpi|think)"
acpi_cpufreq 10796 2
freq_table 5536 3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand
thinkpad_ec 8464 1 hdaps_ec
thinkpad_acpi 51836 0
nvram 9992 2 thinkpad_acpi
pata_acpi 8320 0
libata 159344 4 pata_acpi,ata_piix,ahci,ata_generic
processor 37384 4 acpi_cpufreq,thermal
Currently my display brightness OSD seems to work fine, as it keeps
state correctly.
I'm only looking where I can make sure that pressing "volume down"
button will actually unmute the sound, as "volume up" button already does.
