Acer Hot Key (acerhk) GUI
I wrote a small GUI program to interact with these wonderful drivers. There is a .deb and a .rpm file available. These files install without problem and should run without further configuration.
If you want a bit of pain or just a way to run it from your home directory, then get the zip file. Same files are in the .deb/.rpm., but unlike the .deb/rpm, the zip does not install files in the standar locations (ie: /usr/bin /usr/share/acerhk etc...)
I'd appreciate any feedback, including thanks, for the program if you find it useful. Get it at sourceforge.net:
