ASUS 1018P netbook & acpi-eeepc-generic

Following a couple of re-installs of Arch and acpi-eeepc-generic on my netbook, I've finally have most of my hot keys working. Fn+F5 (dim screen), Fn+F6 (brighten screen) worked out of the box. After installing acpi-eeepc-generic and changing the file /etc/acpi/eeepc/models/acpi-eeepc-generic-1008HA-events.conf to acpi-eeepc-generic-1018P-events.conf the following keys now work:
Fn+F1 Sleep mode
Fn+F2 Wifi toggle
Fn+F3 touchpad toggle
Fn+F8 Switch Displays (seems to work from the onscreen notifications but I don't have a monitor to test it.)
Fn+F10, F11, F12 Volume mute, decrease, increase respectively.

Here are the keys I'm having problems with:
Fn+F4 (screen resolution) On-screen notification displays "Hotkey (hotkey) undefined: ATDK 00000038 00000008"
Fn+F7 (Screen blank) On-screen notification displays "Turning screen off..." but nothing happens
Fn+F9 (Task Manager) No response
Fn+ Space ( Super Hybrid Engine) On-Screen notification displays "Super Hybrid Engine: to performance" It won't toggle however.

The only one I would really like to get working is the Super Hybrid Engine I, personally, can live without the others but it would be nice to get them working for other future 1018P owners.

I've also installed laptop-mode-tools.

My Window Manager is Openbox with tint2 and libnotify.

Edit to add: Not sure what happened, but after a reboot the Super Hybrid Engine is now working!

Edit to add: Super Hybrid Engine has now stopped working is now again as originally described.

Check acpi-eeepc-generic.conf

The key value for Screen resolution (Fn+F4) was incorrectly defined for my 1001P. See my post in http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23318 for a fix

Task-manager (Fn+F9) runs COMMANDS_TASKM=("@lxtask") You might need to change the program name to whatever openbox provides.

For some reason, the default value for Screen blank (Fn+F7) is COMMANDS_SCREEN_OFF=("${COMMANDS_BLUETOOTH_TOGGLE[@]}"). I changed mine to COMMANDS_SCREEN_OFF=("xset dpms force off")

Thanks The resolution key isn't working yet, but everything else is as far as I can tell. I guess I'll have to find the correct definition for my Fn+F4 key.

When I change the key definition, my screen resolution doesn't change and I don't get any notification either. I also edited the acpi-eeepc-generic-toggle-resolution.sh file per your other post.

Tell me please, how did you get Wifi toggle? Even acpi_listen prints nothing for me, when the keys Fn+F2 (also F3, F4, F7-12) is pressed

Kernel 2.6.36, acpid 1.0.10-3

I believe Fn+F2 is handled by the BIOS now

Nope, it isn't :(
I've tried to use xbindkeys but xbindkeys -mk finds nothing, except sleep and volume buttons

@Aximand

check your boot-parameters. It may help to add

acpi_osi=Linux

cheers
