Good, isn't it :-)

When I close the lid on the laptop the machine just goes into screen
saver mode. I see that /etc/acpi/lid.sh seems to accomplish this.

You can configure this via System->Preferences-> Power management.

Any suggestions for current docs/howtos on acpi and
customizing the "fn" buttons on the laptop?

Can't help you there. On my T42, Fn-F3 blanks the screen, Fn-F4 sleeps
the laptop, Fn-F12 hibernates it. Worked fine out of the box.

For example, I'd like the laptop to sleep when the lid is closed.

See above.

I'd like to understand how to make the cd eject button work. And
maybe assign custom functions to some other buttons.

I think you may have buttons on your thinkpad that my T42 doesn't have.

Regards, K.
