Hi,
i hope this is the right Forum to post.
I bought a few weeks ago an Acer Aspire 1513LMi and look for people having the same notebook.
Right now KDE, networking (apache,ssh,www), sound, usb (mouse, printer), touchpad and reading ntfs works fine.

My todolist is: USB-Cardreader (internal and external), WLAN, ACPI and Graphics.

The most important think ist the graphic and acpi. Its a nVidia Geforce FX Go5700.

Got someone OpenGL and Batterystatus to work?

grateful for any help,
Wurstkind.

I have an Acer laptop (TM 292LMi), what I did to get the battery status to work:
Code:
# emerge acpid
# /etc/init.d/acpid start
# rc-update add acpid

i installed acpid as described. the catting still brings no information:
Code:
r0c6a7 root # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present:                 yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery status


Code:
r0c6a7 root # cat /proc/acpi/event
cat: /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy


and the acpid log is too difficult for me right now^^
Code:
r0c6a7 root # tail /var/log/acpid

Hello,

Same laptop here, same problem too...
However I managed to have OpenGL working. I guess you have this NVIDIA GeForceFX go5700 card too...

First: "emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx nvidia-settings".
Second: configuring X.org. Here is my xorg.conf :
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
 Identifier     "X.org Configured"
 Screen      0  "Ecran" 0 0
 InputDevice    "TouchPad" "CorePointer"

Maybe you will need to run opengl-update to activate the direct rendering. It works perfectly. I can now have nice OpenGL screensavers in KDE :)
I hope it will help you !

If you ever find a solution for the battery... Please let me know ;)

I've this computer with 1GB ram
ACPI is bugged, you MUST correct it with Intel IASL compiler, I've partially corrected and battery indication is ok.
Please tell me your email and I can send you my dsdt.hex file or go to

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145&highlight=acpi+dsdt+aml

and find how to correct your dsdt.
Kernel 2.6.9 can add your correct dsdt.hex file without you must correct by hands the osl.c file.
