AC power return 0x50
Batt return 0x51

most of these keys needs a driver to drive it.

I am swamped with my day job, thus have to stop development of the driver I am working on.
I have 1 on beta, feel free to try it.

ASUS hotkey enabler.

this package consist of various solution to enable the hotkeys, removes the need for sleepwatcher, sets FN+F1 to deep sleep and lid to doze.
you can customize most of the Keys to run scripts by changing the values in the plist. have been using it for a while on my system, works reasonably well.

Please backup your "DSDT.aml" before you install it.
Hi pentiumpc,

I need your help. I want to enable a couple of hotkey in OS X. These hot keys require application called "launch manager" in windows & "acer-acpi" in linux to make it operational. It control (on/off) two critical devices; wireless card & bluetooth. Fortunately, wireless card automatically turned on when my laptop boot-up. Unfortunately bluetooth is not turned on making it is not recognized or working in OS X. I hope you can help me porting "acer-acpi" to OS X. I don't have experience in driver or kernel extensions programming but I'm a quick learner.

Thank you in advance.
