how do i get my acer hotkeys to work ive looked all over but i find acer_acpi and a series of guides for acerhk. Im on a 64 bit system so cant user acerhk and cant fihure out what to do with acer acpi.

Im on an acer aspire 5101 (AWLMi) (AMD64).

I have pretty much the same laptop. If you havn't already, try setting the Keyboard Model to Acer Laptop in the System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout tab. That worked for me. Good luck

It turns out the problem was i was on 64bit, so i needed to install acerhk with a patch from the gentoo wiki.
