I can confirm that adding the line
  setkeycodes e017 148

to '/usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk' fixes the 'Access IBM' button on my T42p.

I can confirm as well that showkey and acpi_listen show the button, but without the setkey fix the event isn't propagated through to X via acpi_fakekey.

Interestingly ibm.hk says the button should no longer be defined in there since its handled via the polling daemon 'thinkpad-buttons'. But a trace on thinkpad-buttons shows it doesn't receive any events at all anymore.
