I'm a bit surprised the OSD works for you, assuming you're running a recent stable release, and are using the out-of-the-box configuration (might help to specify which release/kernel you're running, and whether you did anything to get it work) ... to contrast, I've got a T40, which I assume is pretty similar to the T42p, and in neither 9.04 nor in 9.10 do I get any OSD for volume up, volume down, or mute (although they do seem to work). Neither do I get any OSD notification for screen brightness changes in 9.10. OSD for both used to work in previous releases (if memory serves, it worked in 8.10, and had a regression thereafter). I'm assuming that this is because the kernel in 9.10 is 2.6.31-14, whilst the comments above talk about fixes being in 2.6.32 and 2.6.33? I.e. sounds like there's a chance it might "just work" in 10.04.
> The behavior on the T500
The T500 was removed from the list of machines as per comments 107 to 109. Having said that though, the list of affected machines in the title mistakenly excludes the T43, which 4 people have independently confirmed as affected, and the T41 which two people mentioned. Since the T40, T41 and T43 seem affected, it seemed probable that your T42 would be too - hence my surprise.
