OK, so this may be a high-priority issue for many notebook users.

According to [http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/], acerhk is obsoleted in favor of acer_acpi, and acer_acpi is now obsoleted in favor of acer_wmi. The latter does not support a broad range of hardware, some of which _were_ supported by acerhk. If nothing relevant changed in the kernel substantially, the task is just to port the acerhk functionality to the new module.

Some relevant info on acer_wmi: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.31/Documentation/laptops/acer-wmi.txt

I have written a mail to the current (?) acer-wmi maintainer, Carlos Corbacho, to find out what is the current situation.
