I'm not sure if this change is really such a good idea. With this change hal 
would set keymaps on every single Acer machine, This would mean:

1) set keymaps on Acer machines which need no mapping (e.g. TravelMate 4650 
and other), this include the not really needed callout and the 'wrong' 
entries with keymap data in HAL (incl. memory usage)
2) map more keys (20) than needed on machines which maybe need e.g. only 5 
(e.g. a Aspire 1510)

Btw. I would like to see a comment from Carlos.
