AcerAspire5004WLMi
Contact: [JiPi] (Hoary and Breezy), VickiNemeth (Dapper 32-bit) (help accepted)
- Make: ACER
- Brand: Aspire
- Model: 5004WLMi
Website: http://www.acer.com/
- S/N: Only needed if you have a Canonical supplied laptop
Current Issues
- The default bootup vga console makes the screen roll over to the top which makes it difficult for setup. Setting vga=791 solves the problem tentatively.
- Changing the brightness of the LCD backpanel using the Function keys sometimes put the system to hibernate mode
- Wireless with Broadcom BCM94318 therefore requires ndiswrapper (latest from sourceforge with 64-bit windows drivers (which ACER doesn't have for this model) and therefore requires picking up the driver from another notebook reference.
- x works from scratch but it is integrated video which Thomas Winischhofer does not recommend. Let's see if it can be put into accelerated mode.
