My new panasonic acpi hotkey driver suports Input API.
If you hit hotkey, then you can get both acpi event and hotkey event.

Acpid scirpt handle event like hibernation, video sw.
hotkey utility eg) hotkeys handles vol+/-, mute, etc.

you can get driver and hotkeys confguration from http://www.da-cha.org/letsnote/
