It is not normal to add specific module load entries for modules of this
kind to the distro as a whole, specific machine quirks do not normally
affect what is install. If it did the disk would not be generic if
moved to another machine. Normally these kinds of modules are keyed to
the hardware they service and are autoloaded via PCI ids or via DMI
information matches; which this driver does not expose.
I note that the autohk driver is actually downrev as found in our kernel
so it is likely worth updating it, but it appears that this driver is
now unmaintained. There seems to be a replacement driver called acer-
wmi which looks to be the place we should be concentrating any effort to
fix/add these features.
For those of you who have this hardware does the acer-wmi module load at
all, and if not what messages do you get on the console and at the end
of dmesg if you 'sudo modprobe acer-wmi'.
If you could report that back here that would be helpful.
