That seems unlikely - there is wistron_btns already in the kernel already and it seems to handle most notebooks that also work with acerhk. I think kernel people do not like to have code that does the same thing in the kernel twice. I do not really know how to get my laptop supported in there - I tried to mail the author/maintainer of wistron_btns but he did not respond. I may re-email him, but then there is the problem that my laptop seems to produce no useful output to dmicode so it is impossible to recognize in software. Or should I mail someone else - I do not really know how these things work, kernel looks so scary...
