Hi,
I'm sorry for the long delay but I can use the laptop only on weekend. 
Here is the output:

# modprobe wistron_btns force=1
FATAL: Error inserting wistron_btns 
(/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/input/misc/wistron_btns.ko): 
No such device

# dmesg
[  168.628474] wistron_btns: BIOS entry point not found

and
# grep . /sys/class/dmi/id/*_{vendor,name,version}
