Current Issues

After switching to "fglrx" driver, I had to manually change resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to 1280x800: seems like widescreen wasn't no more recognized (with "ati" driver, it was).

To enable wireless, acer_acpi module (from [http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html here]) has to be downloaded, compiled* and used.

Card reader doesn't work with Sony memory sticks.

Notes

* To turn on radio mode, acer_acpi module (downloadable from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html) is needed, but under Feisty it doesn't compile correctly. The following is a workaround to get it working anyway: instead of just typing "make", give the following commands: {{{/home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# make clean /home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# make acer_acpi.ko /home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# cp -v acer_acpi.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-12-generic/extra/ (put you kernel version instead of "2.6.20-12-generic") /home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# mkdir cd /lib/modules/2.6.20-12-generic/extra (again, change to your kernel version) /home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# cp -v acer_acpi.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-12-generic/extra/ /home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# depmod -a /home/user/acer_acpi-0.3# modprobe acer_acpi}}}

Now the module should be up and running, you can switch on/off the radio with the followings commands: {{{echo "enabled:1" > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless echo "enabled:0" > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless }}}

** Onestly I don't find a difference even when I do it under Window, except an icon appearing on taskbar; I say "no" just because nothing appears in dmesg

*** To turn on radio mode, acer_acpi module (downloadable from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and use) is needed. bcm43xx still doesn't work correctly (sometimes dhclient works, often it doesn't, packets go quite randomly), ndiswrapper works, except it sometimes freezes the system.

**** MMC cards are correctly read, sony ericsson memory sticks aren't, others are untested
