Hi. I'm not the original poster but experience similar symptoms and am
interested in getting this to work, so please just tell me what you need.

laptop: Acer Extensa 5220, there seem to be different versions around
kernel 2.6.32.3 x86_64 on Arch Linux, so it's pretty vanilla
acpiclient 1.4

So far I can only tell you whether special keys have immediate user-visible
effect, I don't know how to see whether they have any effect at all.

Special keys:
seven special keys on the left -> no effect

Fn Keys: 
Fn numpad - works
Fn F1 - nothing, label: ?
Fn F2 - nothing, label: cake with a pie cut out?
Fn F3 - nothing, label: circle-like with a check mark inside
Fn F4 - nothing, label: Z with superscript z
Fn F5 - nothing, label: empty rectangle | filled rectangle
Fn F6 - seems to turn backlight off
Fn F7 - turns touchpad off/on (on with delay of ~1-2 sec.)
Fn F8 - nothing visible in alsamixer, label: speaker / speaker emitting sound
Fn F11 - numlock, label: Num
Fn F12  - nothing, not sure how to test, label: Rol
Fn UpArrow - nothing visible in alsamixer, label: louder
Fn DownArrow - nothing visible in alsamixer, label: quieter
Fn LeftArrow - nothing, label: filled sun
Fn RightArrow - nothing, label: empty sun

I tested Fn Left-/RightArrow after I read this and can confirm that it works at
bios and grub.

There are also the Print and Pause keys, not sure whether these are special
too.


There is:
 /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/
actual_brightness  bl_power           brightness         device/           
max_brightness     power/             subsystem/         uevent

sudo echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
bash: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness: Permission denied


Please tell me what else you need.
