I found the reason for the above problem: It was the result of running a
kernel requiring PAE on a cpu without PAE support, which otherwise
doesn't seem to have any adverse effects (see bug #930447), but BIOS
calls obviously do not work properly. Installing the non-PAE kernel
solved the problem.
Jacek, thanks for maintaining the module. It compiles fine on Precise.
But unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore for me. Apparently, the BIOS
routine is found, but has no effect:
acerhk: connect(1) = 0x9610
acerhk: cmos index set to 0x00
acerhk: bios routine found at 0xc00fdd00
...

I applied all the patches from this bug report and from the previous one and I
get a new problem.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with 2.6.38-8-generic
/home/patryk/acerhk-0.5.35/acerhk.c: In function ‘acerhk_proc_init’:
/home/patryk/acerhk-0.5.35/acerhk.c:2671:18: error: ‘struct proc_dir_entry’ has

When I commented all the -owner lines in function acer_proc_init the
module compiles and even works :-) Just have to restart the machine
after installation of this module.

From the last two comments it seems that these are incompatibilities
between the current kernel options and acerhk-source. As there seems to
be fixes there for the issues I am going to close out the kernel task.

Hi Andy,
It's true that version of acerhk from official universe repositories is
incompatibile with current kernels. It's partly caused by the fact that
original author of acerhk stopped developing it in 2007, and partly by the fact
that last Debian revision which is current universe package
I've copied my revision of acerhk-source package to Lucid and Maverick
in my PPA.

awesome Jacek!
I used your ppa, installed the updated acerhk and after that module-assistant
worked like a charm.
Thank you!
Can a dev makes sure that versions gets added to ubuntu main repositories?
I have no clue on how to do that?

I've determined by testing on Virtualbox that it's possible to build

I am sorry I probably did not get it right. Could you explain more on

Hi,
I would like some people running Natty to compile attached source using
module-assistant while leaving -pg uncommented, test if module is working
correctly and give me some feedback. It works great on my Acer Aspire 3690, but
I would prefer having info about some other hardware before
hi,
This is what I get now when using module-assistant :|
Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could

Gosh this sucks.
Thanks
so in the end I found the driver, did an insmod and depmod -a and it worked
with acerhkgui 0.7.2 deb package.
No clue why module-assistant seems borked.
Now to find a way to have the keys working.
Do you think there will be a more permanent fix?
Does module manager use dkms?
It would be great if
Hi MacRules,
For your module-assistant problem reinstalling kernel headers usually helps.At
least it works in my case, when I get this info.

I've released totally patched up source package to my PPA, that is
ppa:cogito-16/ppa. However this release is for Natty only.It's patched up for

I too have managed to compile your revision of the acerhk module on the

After loading the module I can use Fn-F10 to switch wifi on and off.
Many thanks for you help
Hi Andy Whitcroft,
I'm marking it as Confirmed for Linux because Linux does not support this
hardware, forcing the user to rely on this third-party module.
It should be supported by the default kernel, so I consider it a bug there too.
