Hi,

I found somewhere (don't ask me where, I think it was somewhere in the
release notes or similar) that hotkey-setup is no longer used. It said
that instead HAL is used to map the keycodes and I found the following
file as an appropriate replacement:

/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-acer.fdi

I made a modification to get rid of the bug that turning off bluetooth
is interpreted as increasing brightness on my 5920G.

I also have the problem described in this bug but have no idea what to
change in the above mentioned file to get this fixed. My personal
assumption was that this bug is caused by a acpi/kernel bug.

Bye, Percy
