Same here with a ThinkPad R40 and Kubuntu 6.10.
I got it partly working by installing kmilo-thinkpad, loading nvram module and changing the rights of /dev/nvram:
sudo addgroup nvram sudo adduser username nvram sudo chown :nvram /dev/nvram appending "nvram" to /etc/modules
This states also the problem described above. The volume bar jumps around quite a bit.
See also similar bug #31778 which is marked "fix released".
