[aur-general] move acerhk to [unsupported]?
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. -- Chris

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

-- Chris 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

+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. -- Chris
