Acer Launcher for Acer Aspire 6920G

Post by Shway »

I need this application to rum my laptop buttons. Like WiFi, Web Browser, Bluetooth and volume control.

Here is the link for the Win7 x86 version.

Have you tried the native way? Try opening xev in a console window,
focus it and press the special buttons to see if they trigger actions
in the console. If they do you can configure your window manager to
work with then. It's probably an easier solution.

Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine.

It isn't a hardware driver, it is an appliction.

Are you expecting the buttons to work in Linux? If so, this is not going to happen, as programs run in Wine are not accessible outside of its 'area'. You will have to use the method described before to map them.

However, if the settings are retained outside of a Windows session, then maybe the program can be made to work.
