Fred, thanks for the report.

Now Linux uses 'udev' instead of 'hal' to handle those keys.
The files you need to edit are now located at
/lib/udev/keymaps/

If you see in /lib/udev/keymaps/acer
there are references for

0xA6 setup # Fn+F2 Acer eSettings
0xF1 f22 # Fn+F7 Touchpad toggle (off-to-on)
0xF2 f22 # Fn+F7 Touchpad toggle (on-to-off)

which means that pressing now those keys, the default actions for 'setup' and 'f22' will be invoked.

Please verify whether the bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 10.04. If not, open this report.
