Neither   /sys/class/leds,   /sys/class/backlight have an entry related to 
acer-wmi.
Specifically,

$ ls -l /sys/class/leds/
σύνολο 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Φεβ  23 20:29 ath9k-phy0 -> 
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/0000:03:00.0/leds/ath9k-phy0
$ ls -l /sys/class/backlight/
σύνολο 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Φεβ  23 20:29 acpi_video0 -> 
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/backlight/acpi_video0

Even when I remove acer-wmi, those entries do not change.

Some of the hotkeys of the laptop work, while other do not. There is no 
difference whether acer-wmi is loaded or not.
a. Lock touchpad: does not work
b. Mute/enable audio: works fine
c. Decrease/Increase volue: works fine
d. Decrease/Increase display brightness: it works, but it apparently is mixed 
with the "enable/disable screens" functionality. I have dual-head, and it 
changes the screen size or disables/enables the external display.
e. External display shortcut: almost works
f. hibernate shortcut: it invokes hibernation. Did not get the hibernation to 
work yet (might work)

As the laptop has the AMD E450 CPU/GPU, I think it might not work with previous 
versions of Ubuntu.
If there is more to be tested, I am happy to do so.
