Comment 9 for bug 257344

It is not normal to add specific module load entries for modules of this kind to the distro as a whole, specific machine quirks do not normally affect what is install. If it did the disk would not be generic if moved to another machine. Normally these kinds of modules are keyed to the hardware they service and are autoloaded via PCI ids or via DMI information matches; which this driver does not expose.

I note that the autohk driver is actually downrev as found in our kernel so it is likely worth updating it, but it appears that this driver is now unmaintained. There seems to be a replacement driver called acer-wmi which looks to be the place we should be concentrating any effort to fix/add these features.

For those of you who have this hardware does the acer-wmi module load at all, and if not what messages do you get on the console and at the end of dmesg if you 'sudo modprobe acer-wmi'.

If you could report that back here that would be helpful.
