That sounds good.

Yes, same here. Not all FN+* keys are working any more. I already sent a bug
report, but as there are only very few people with this hardware, still no one
cared about. And I am no coder, so I cannot fix it myself.
I hope, some day it will be fixed.

Yes, they are loaded here. Please pay attention, that the module acpi-wmi is
not loaded. It depends on your hardare! Newer hardware uses acpi-wmi, the
older ones use eeepc-laptop.
To inhibit acpi-wmi to be loaded, add the command "acpi_osi=Linux" to your
grub commandline. (I am using grub-legacy, which is mor easy to configure than
grub2. I am using debian now for many years and so I am still at grub-legacy.
Sorry for that.)
Then, after boot, check if the module is loaded with
lsmod | grep eeepc
You can also check, which modules are loaded by lsmod | grep acpi
