Hi Andy,
A huge number of users cannot use their computers with Linux because there is no driver for Acer hot keys in the official kernel.
(Lucky us that have this unofficial unsupported acerhk package that needs to be patched here and there from time to time so that we can at least turn wireless on.)
So, should we file the kernel bug separately then?
