 * Contact: loskobosko <loskobosko@gmail.com>
 * Make: Acer
 * Brand: Aspire
 * Model: 5720, Intel X3100
 * Website: http://www.acer.com

== Current Issues ==
 * '''Moderate:''' Sound doesn't work out of the box (see below)
 * '''Minor:''' Card reader isn't likely to work (Bug [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88992|#88992]])
 * '''Minor:''' Compiz fusion won't work normally. See below.

== Installing Sound ==
 * download the package [[ftp://152.104.238.19/pc/audio/realtek-linux-audiopack-5.01.tar.bz2]]. Do not use the install script provided, but manually compile the drivers only (Installation won't work because of alsaconf)
 * Install curses and linux headers 

 `sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev`

 `sudo apt-get install linux-headers-\`uname -r\``

 * Compile the content of alsa-driver-rt20071002.tar.bz2

 `tar xjf realtek-linux-audiopack-4.07a.tar.bz2`

 `cd realtek-linux-audiopack`

 `tar xjf alsa-driver-rt20071002.tar.bz2`

 `cd alsa-driver-rt20071002`

 `sudo ./configure`

 `sudo make`

 `sudo make install`

 * edit the file `/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base`

 `sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base`

 * At the end of the file, add the line:

 `options snd-hda-intel model=acer`


== Compiz Fusion ==

 To get Compiz-fusion working, you need to invoke it like this: 


 `SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace`

 You can create a little script and put invoke it with the gnome session manager.

 PS: If the totem, mplyer and others movie players didn't work, try install xserver-xgl or reconfigure your players (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=507328&highlight=compiz+totem+playback).
