"Its just an intuitive feeling, so lacking any rigor or truth value, but seems
to me that Acer at least use the same "firmware-acpi" for most models even if
they have different hardware. I don't know if by following "style" guidelines
for "look&feel" or actually similar firmware code."
Most vendors do afaik so they can keep their drivers consistent.
I am sorry but I also lack the insight here, I think foremost it would require
a fix to the kernel module loading, because without that nothing happens to the
brightness anyways, or did I misunderstood you here?
Then atleast the keys works.
I don't know if gnome is better in this regard, you can sure try, another
solution is to try the deprecated hal backend on KDE, maybe hal has some mighty
magic.

Besides that you can try hunting other bugreports about acer backligt troubles,
this doesn't seem to be fixed on opensuse, maybe there is a proper workaround
somewhere?
