Acer Aspire 8920G

**RussianMan** · July 7th, 2008

I want to buy a laptop Acer Aspire 8920G
This laptop has a touch panel to manage player, audio system 5.1 and few additional buttons.
I want to know how well this laptop is compatible with Ubuntu 8.04?

i just got the same laptop.. having problems as well

no sound at all even System beeps
on two resolutions 800x600 and 640x4xx
nd the refresh rate is wrong

Has anyone tryed the i950 graphics driver yet?
May work.
Also see if the acerhk module is installed and working.

I installed 32bit 8.04.1 using wubi in Vista on my new 8920G

No sound but installing the restricted nvidia driver gave me 1920x1080 res so that's one problem I'm glad not to have. Did you try that glethro?

Wireless works flawlessly too...
