Hi Daniel.

What version of Ubuntu do you have on your Acer? I recently installed Ubuntu
Netbook Remix on an AspireOne for a client and it worked perfectly.

Maybe you should try that. Since the Netbook remix is a largish ISO I could
provide you with it if you are in Pretoria. I will also be glad to help you
install, since netbook remix involves making a bootable USB drive and
booting from that.

(Now I just have to make double sure that I have the ISO on my home comp...
teehee I think I do.)
