Also the keys to adjust screen brightness do work running Xubuntu.
So I think, that he should follow my instructions or create new custom keyboard shortcuts.
well my eeepc and my acer laptop was is no different situation from the op. Brightness keys work, but the volume keys doesnt. This is something I do not understand. All i knew is that that have to add that kernel parameter to get my volume keys working
