Description:
The acerhk (Acer Travelmate) hotkey driver crashes my system every time
I press any of the special keys on my notebook. This is a known bug of
the acerhk 0.5.29 driver and it has already been corrected in 0.5.30. As
far as I know, the acerhk driver is not part of the official kernel, so
I assume that it's the part of the patches added by the Ubuntu team. You
should update the acerhk sources and it should work well again (now I
always have to re-compile the acerhk driver from source).
