Looking around a bit more, the following should definitely be removed fro= m=20 wistron_btns: Acer Aspire 3020 Acer Aspire 5020 The following I'm not entirely sure on these, but they _probably_ should = be=20 removed: Acer TravelMate 2100 Acer TravelMate 2410 (identical hardware to the Aspire 1610, which is kno= wn to=20 generate scancodes) Acer TravelMate 2424NWXCi (aka TravelMate 2420 series) As a rule of thumb, if the laptop is based on Acer's "folio" design, whic= h=20 they've used for most of the TravelMate and Aspire laptops from 2004 to t= he=20 present day (although some of the newer ones are now using a different=20 design), and/ or the model/ series number is a four digit one (such as 50= 20),=20 it shouldn't be in wistron_btns (the Aspire 1500 and Aspire 1600 I would = make=20 an exception for, as they don't appear to be based on the "folio" design,= and=20 therefore don't fit this pattern). -Carlos --=20 E-Mail: cathectic@gmail.com Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D
