== Current Issues ==
## List any issues you have with the current development release here
 1. '''Touchpad''' can be deactivated using the key next to it. However, you cannot switch it on again. To get the touchpad working again, you need to restart ubuntu or go to suspend to ram. The touchpad button on FN+F7 has been removed by acer.<<BR>>[[http://img13.imageshack.us/my.php?image=laptoptouchpad.jpg|{{http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7138/laptoptouchpad.th.jpg}}]]
 1. '''Bluetooth HW-button''': will switch the button's LED on and off. But also adds brightness every 2nd time you press it.
 1. '''Bluetooth FN-button''': Will add brightness and switch on and off the the hw-button's LED.
 1. '''FN+F2''': Circle with quarter sliced out. No functions (seems so)
 1. '''Energy button''': No function.
