Can you elaborate a bit further on "doesn't work"?

Here goes.

This is wrong - there is now an Extensa section in 30-keymap-acer.fdi
(between 'Aspire' and 'Ferrari' - the list is alphabetically ordered);
please add your 5220 entry to that section.

Add them (and the 5610) - all these laptops will have the same base unit,
keyboard controller, etc.

This is odd - I would usually expect bluetooth to be e057 & e058 - can you
confirm this is really not the case?

(Even if your laptop doesn't have bluetooth, others fitted with it would also
produce a second scancode for going from bluetooth on to off, so you would
need to add another entry for that - if the bluetooth really is e054, then
I expect this other scancode to be e053).

This scancode is fine - however, please just copy and paste the relevant
comment from the other entries to keep the Acer keymaps consistent, rather
than rewriting them yourself (that way we can try and maintain consistency
across the various laptop entries).

These three keycodes I don't recognise, but your laptop does appear to have
new keys.

The manual though:
ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/extensa_5220/manual/EX_5620_5610_5220_5210_User_Guide_Eng.pdf

lists these new keys as

Lock = Windows Lock function
Presentation = Minimise all windows
Sync = Launch NTI shadow (some sort of backup application?)

I presume the 'lock' key maps to e06e?

And what happens with these keys on the 'first press'? Do they already
generate a keycode (and which one), or do they produce a different
scancode?

This scancode is fine - however, please just copy and paste the relevant
comment from the other entries to keep the Acer keymaps consistent, rather
than rewriting them yourself (that way we can try and maintain consistency
across the various laptop entries).

There are proper Dollar and Euro keycodes - please use them.

These 7 scancodes are fine - however, please just copy and paste the relevant
comments from the other entries to keep the Acer keymaps consistent, rather
than rewriting them yourself (that way we can try and maintain consistency
across the various laptop entries).

Also, please reorder _all_ these entries - they should be sorted by scancode.

And check to see if any of your brightness keys produce scancodes (some do,
some don't).
