I have compiled the kernel module and the extra keys now generate X events (as shown by xev). So the driver itself works fine.
How to compile the acerhk module and create deb package I assume you have a configured Linux kernel source in the <kernel-source> directory and you have installed the module-assistant package. - Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free - Install the "acerhk-source" pacage. The source installs in "/usr/src/acerhk.tar.bz2" - Unpack the archive somewhere in your home dir. (e.g. <modules-dir>) - $ export MODULE_LOC=<modules-dir> - $ cd <kernel-source> - $ fakeroot make-kpkg modules (This creates a .deb package in the parent directory of <kernel-source> - Install the package: $ dpkg -i <newly-created-deb> - Load the module: $ modprobe acerhk - You also want to include it in the "/etc/modules" file so it loads automatically on boot. Now the second part of the problem is how to assign the keyboard events to some actions. I haven't dne that before - can anyone help?
