It won't build against kernel 2.6.36. There hasn't been a release in a long time. According to the homepage, the upstream author is no longer actively supporting it. IMHO, it should move. I could make more of an effort to patch it if someone is *really* interested.

Doesn't acer-wmi solve the same problem? http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/laptops/acer-wmi.txt
I have an acer laptop at home working just fine (travelmate 4500), and I don't think I have ever used acerhk.
Cheers, Greg

I'm using acerhk but I also have suspend trouble with it. It effectively stops working after the first suspend/resume cycle and I manually have to reload the module a few seconds after resuming. I could do without it. If it doesn't work with kernel 2.6.36, don't make the effort to patch it. Only rather old Acer laptops need it. Newer models seem to work with the in-kernel modules.
I appreciate your effort for acerhk so far.

+1 drop.
If only really old Acer laptops need it, then really a minority needs it. In that case, AUR works best.

I appreciate your feedback. It is now in the AUR and orphaned.
