Notes

  • 1 Using 'nv' driver screen resolution maxed out at 1280x800 on Gutsy. Correct at 1440x900 on Hardy.
  • 2 Using 'nvidia' restricted driver.
  • 3 Needed to add "networking" to /etc/default/acpi-support under STOP_SERVICES. Perfect on Hardy.
  • 4 See my instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3114742&postcount=6 to work under Gutsy. Perfect under Hardy.

  • 5 Launches Acer Empowering Technology software in Windows (if installed)
