Acer Aspire R13 Touch Keyboard in Stand Mode

When I switch the laptop into Ezel or Stand mode, the touch keyboard is disabled in the Windows 8 touch interface, e.g when I open IE, I cannot type any URL. Is there any way to enable the touch keyboard in all modes? An update ... using the touch keyboard troubleshooter available at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/using-touch-keyboard, it shows that the touch keyboard is disabled. When the notebook switches mode, some piece of software changes the theme (which I like) and disables the touch keyboard. So my question is, can I enable the touch keyboard all the time?

sh_kamalh,
The notebook is working as designed, when it is in ezel and stand mode the built in keyboard would need to be used.

Will Windows 10 work with Acer Aspire R13

Hi, I would like to update to Windows 10 on my Acer Aspire R13. Before upgrading i want to check if anyone who updated had/have problems. If you had/have a problem it would be great if you leave a reply saying what the problem is and if it is fixable.

Oh ok good i thought it was just me. now i know it is something on their end, thanks.

When i downloaded lastest firefox the page up an d down on my acer aspire laptop touch pad stopped functioning why

page up and down on touch pad doesn t work

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work. 
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Acer Aspire Switch 10E - unable to boot, no keyboard

Hello everyone,
I have recently bought an Acer Aspire Switch 10E to do my terrain work, and would love to be able to run Linux on it. I'm running into one problem after another though (most likely because some things aren't officially supported yet, but I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences who might be able to help me out. To cut the long story short, from my own experience, I'm sure Linux can run on this.
In any case, the machine features a quad-core Intel Atom CPU (which should work AFAIK), with Intel HD graphics (which should also work flawlessly AFAIK). It also features a Realtek RTL8273BS WiFi network card (haven't got to trying it out, but my guesstimate is that it requires some proprietary firmware, since it didn't work on Ubuntu live). It has a 1280x800 touchscreen (which worked flawlessly on Ubuntu live), and a dockable keyboard (now that one boggles me). This is just a quick "tldr" version of what the machine is supposed to be. It's basically a 64-bit x86-compatibile tablet PC with a dockable keyboard and which shipped with Windows 8.1.
Okay, so first things first. The Acer Aspire Switch 10E has a 32-bit UEFI, and there is no possible way of booting an OS (live or otherwise, Linux or otherwise) which only has a 64-bit EFI image. There is no legacy BIOS on the motherboard, so (to whom it may concern), don't even bother with online tutorials that tell you to switch to legacy BIOS, as there is no way to enable it. On the other hand, a valid 32-bit EFI image will boot, even in Secure Mode, so don't bother disabling that either. In other words, there is absolutely no need to change anything in the UEFI setup in order to boot Linux, apart from adding your 32-bit EFI image to a trusted list.
Thus, in order to boot any live Linux media, it is (TTBOMK) required to either generate a working 32-bit EFI image, or use an existing one. It took me a while to figure that out, on top of the time to figure out how to generate my own 32-bit EFI image, without breaking something. Bear with me here - this is the first machine I ever owned that features an UEFI, let alone an UEFI without legacy BIOS.
Here is the stuff I found, which I was able to use to get to this point:
UEFI GPT Arch Linux USB (bootx64.efi and bootia32.efi) - Taylorbyte.com
Acer Aspire Switch 10 can't boot 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu Forums
From Ubuntu forums, I learned about this and this, both of which have bootable 32-bit EFI images, which work on Ubuntu live. Those, however, did not work with Arch Linux, for some reason, so I generated my own EFI images from the tutorial found on Taylorbyte.com. Not absolutely sure if I did it right however, since the tutorial seemed a bit dated, but it did get me into the basics I needed.
So, I now have a bootable USB drive with Arch Linux installed on it, with both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI images. My Acer Aspire 10E recognises the 32-bit EFI image and boots into GRUB loader from it, which asks me whether to boot into Arch Linux or Arch Linux Fallback. At this point, my keyboard still works, and I can choose either.
However, as soon as I choose Arch Linux to boot, it complains about being unable to boot from "UUID=<my USB's UUID>", and drops me into a boot console. The cursor blinks, but the keyboard input is not recognised at all.
I have recompiled the kernel for my live Arch USB (via makepkg -o and makepkg -e) as stated on the Ubuntu forums (setting HID_MAX_USAGE = 65536 in a certain header file in the kernel sources), but it didn't do much. The kernel still compiles, so I guess that's a plus.
Without keyboard, I am unable to install Arch on this machine, and I'm currently stuck with this error, which I'm not sure what to make of. I have never stated any UUID's while configuring my Arch live USB, so I suppose something is detecting it automatically, thus preventing Arch from booting (no idea what it could be, though).
So to conclude, I need help with booting Arch live USB on this machine, as well as getting keyboard to work. I have read here and there some people had some success with either Arch, Fedora or Ubuntu, and I've seen (32-bit) Debian 8.1 installer boot normally - without keyboard or wifi, though.
Any help regarding this would be very much appreciated.

Hi Marc, Thanks for the swift response. I'm not sure if Acer (Philippines) will be able to give the necessary support since they are only selling the Switch 10 (not even Switch 11! So backwards!) . I don't mind reinstalling the file from time to time as long as it will fix the problem asap. Would it be possible to know how often you reinstalled the exe file to fix the problem? One more thing, the only thing that's hindering on buying the Switch 12 are problems like these (since we don't have the tech support yet). Would it be possible for you to send me the fix for the keyboard problem? Thank you very much! ++ How's the experience when you are using it on your lap, let say when travelling on a plane ? Is the built stable enough that it won't stumble that easily?

Acer Aspire Switch 10 e keyboard dock problem

Hi. I have this brand new Acer Aspire Switch 10 E which I just bought last month. I'm now having problems with the keyboard and the dock as when I connect the tablet/screen to the dock, the keyboard is not detected. It recognizeswhen I dock the tablet but it doesn't detect te hard drive nor the keyboard. Sometime, after a long while, it detects the keyboard and the hard drive but only for a few seconds then it disappears again. Other times, it just flips continually from working and then not working. The problem is so sudden. I would jokingly note that whenever I search for solutions to the keyboard problem, it very briefly fixes itself. On a serious note however, I do not know what causes this malfunction nor do I know what fixes it. As stated above, the problem is so sudden. I have been very, very careful with the use of my laptop including in the removal and docking of the tablet. I have inspected the docking pins, and physically, they look perfectly fine. The problem occurs even the tablet has been connected and left undisturbed for continuous periods of time. This has led me to believe that the problem could be software based and not hardware. I am also open to the possibility that it could be heat affecting the docking pins (heat can cause connection issues and this isn't the first time I have encountered one, nor the second) but like I said, the docking pins work perfectly and remain constantly in contact witch each other. As I have postulated that the problem is software based, I have gone through the hassles of searching for possibble drivers for the dock/keyboard. Unfortunately, (this might be due to the Aspire Switch 10 E being a fairly new model) there were no keyboard drivers on the Acer support page for the Aspire Switch 10 E. In my search, I encountered a video for the Aspire Switch 10 keyboard to fix the problem, a driver update for the Switch 10, NOT the Switch 10 E. I have tried the solution and it still does not work. I am not a fan of forums and if I am, I am usually just a reader kind of person. But in the light of recent events and the fact that there are virtually NO questions or posts about this brand new model of laptop, specfically the Aspire Switch 10 E, I have taken the responsibility of raising this question in the hopes that a knowledgeable person may provide assistance and that the others of my kind (the Aspire Switch 10 E users) may be enlightened as well. I would sincerely appreciate the assistance. God bless. TL;DR: Aspire Switch 10 E detects docking but keyboard and hard drive are inconsistently not working. Help. Reposted this topic on the laptops forum because I realized I posted the first one in desktops.

Hi, I have a similar problem. Sometimes after waking or after removing or reataching the keyboard it becomes unresponsive. But if I then restart the computer it is fine. I think, in my case at least, it can not be due to just a bad connection, as otherwise restarting it would not change anything. Also, I don't think it is something that has been fixed as it is quite a recent purchase and I have recently updated windows and drivers. The whole reason for choosing this pc was the ease with which it converts between tablet and laptop mode so any advice would be very welcome. Thanks,Tom

Impossible to install arch in UEFI mode on my Acer Aspire S3-391

Hi there,
I am trying to install arch-linux on my Acer Aspire S3-391, which came with a pre-shipped Windows 8. I am trying to make a dual boot, so I would like to keep the UEFI mode at startup. However, my computer won't boot on the Arch Linux USB Flash drive when in UEFI mode : when plugged in, the key prevents the computer from loading anything. The "Acer" page keeps on reloading itself, without even letting me access the BIOS menu (In other words, the computer is blocked at "POST" phase when the installation media of arch is plugged in).
Here's what I did to try and solve the problem :
1) of course, I disabled Secure Boot and hibernation in Windows 8.
2) tried to boot in legacy bios. It works, and i could install arch this way : but as told before, i would like to install it in UEFI mode.
3) Checked, re-checked and re-rechecked the installation media.
4) tried to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode. It worked : the bootable key of Ubuntu was loaded, when the bootable key of arch is blocked. Why ? No idea...
5) Installed Ubuntu, and tried to install Arch in UEFI mode from Ubuntu, following the tutorial "Install_from_Existing_Linux". No luck here : i was blocked at step "Testing if you are booted into UEFI mode" on the beginner's guide : I was not, and I couldn't find any solution in the tutorial.
Any suggestions on what I should try next ?

If you've already installed in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode, my recommendation is to install your EFI-mode boot loader and try it out. You'll need to use something else that does boot (such as Ubuntu), install the boot loader using the Windows bcdedit command (assuming you're dual-booting), or install the boot loader as EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi (if you're setting up for Linux alone) to get it to work, though.

USB Keyboard Drivers do not work Acer Aspire X3470

Hi! I am having a hard time trying to find the correct Driver for my Acer Aspire X3470. Currently I am using the standard PS/2 Keyboard to input commands. But I do not want to use that Keyboard and I want to use my USB Keyboard. I tried everything to get the right driver for it but I am having no luck at all... is there anyone that could possibly help me identify this problem¿

Hi rnoctus83, The keyboard should have an installation CDC for the driver or once you connected the system should look for the driver automatically, i would suggest to go directly to the manufactures page of your keyboard and look for the driver and installed manually and if it works that way.

Certain keyboard keys don't work Acer Aspire V3-571G

Hello, A few months ago I began to have issues with my Acer Aspire V3-571G-9435 where certain keys would intermittently stop working. Most often it would be the "A" key, along with less frequently the "C" and "Z" keys, and somtimes other keys. Within a minute or so they would start working again. A couple weeks ago, however, several of the keys, including the "A" "C" "Z" "F" "," "." and some other keys stopped working altogether (all at once). Following some guides I found online, I took the laptop apart and was able to take the keyboard ribbon cable out of its connector and put it back in, thinking it may be a loose connection issue. However, this did not fix the issue. I went online and ordered a new keyboard from Amazon, thinking the keyboard itself might be broken. After installing the new keyboard however, and entirely NEW set of keys have stopped working, including "J" "Q" "T" "U" "P" "1" and a few other keys. (However most of the keys that weren't working previously are working again). Does anyone have any other suggestions about what I should do? I've been using an external USB keyboard, which works fine, except obviously portability is sacrificed. I'm unsure if this is a hardware or software issue, as a brand new keyboard still isn't working properly. Could there still be something wrong with the connection? Is there a possible software/diver issue? Thanks for any help.

jmckeen,
A new keyboard means a new ribbon cable so that leaves the only constant, the motherboard; pending the unit was not damaged in any way from like dropping it or spilling something on it. If you are in warranty I would see about creating a repair for it. Here is the link to set up repairs online, or you can chat online with a technician (available 24/7).

Yoga 3 pro. Keyboard won't lock in stand mode. Win10

I noticed recently that keyboard and trackpad will not disable when in stand mode anymore. In tablet mode keyboard is disabled but not the trackpad.This was working before and the issue might be related to win 10, which I updated to. Not sureIs there a setting anywhere to enable keyboard lock? I can't find it anywhere Please help

I installed Lenovo Settings from the Windows App Store, which instructed me to download and install the system interface fundation. https://download.lenovo.com/enm/sift/core/SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe Not sure if that is related, but that resolved my keyboard issue.

Acer 5920G media touch buttons

Hello there,
I am using Acer Aspire 5920G notebook. There are touch sensitive media (play, pause, etc) buttons on my keyboard [0]. However, on linux, they behave as if they are mouse buttons. I am using a usb mouse with 9 buttons. And I want to use these touch sensitive buttons as multimedia buttons. To configure them with xbindkeys or something similar, I need to set these buttons' button numbers as different from my default mouse buttons. Input device block of these buttons is /dev/input/event4, is it possible to configure this device's buttons numbers? Here is these buttons' xev outputs:

Hi there, I solved this problem long time ago, but I didn't post anything because I'm a little bit lazy xD
I basically reached the same place as you, getting a different mapping with xinput. The difference is that I'm using xbindkeys to map the "buttons" as mediaKeys. My solution was working fine, but unfortunately in recent changes (kernel version? udev??) it seems the mediakeys has a different id on each start. So I decided to do a very nice script I'm going to share with you
Here is the multimedia.sh script:
#!/bin/bash
# Get the ids for touchpad devices
ids=`xinput --list | sed -ne 's/^.*Synaptics TouchPad.*id=$.*$\t.*$/\1/p'`
for id in `echo $ids`
do
res=`xinput --list-props $id | sed -ne 's/^.*Resolution.*:\t$.*$/\1/p'`
# Resolution property for media touchpad is "1, 1"
if [ "$res" = "1, 1" ]; then
id_mm=$id
fi
done
# Switch off Repeat mode for multimedia keyboard
prop_id=`xinput --list-props $id_mm | sed -ne 's/^.*Repeat ($.*$).*$/\1/p'`
xinput --set-prop $id_mm $prop_id 0 0
# set a different mapping
xinput --set-button-map $id_mm 0 0 0 9 10 11 12
# activate xbindkeys
xbindkeys
Paste it in a .sh, give it chmod +x and place it in ~/.kde4/Autostart to start it every boot.
You must install xbindkeys (and xte if it's not installed, for the next step)
Next code are the bindings for xbindkeys, in ~/.xbindkeysrc
"xte 'key XF86AudioPlay'"
b:9
"xte 'key XF86AudioStop'"
b:10
"xte 'key XF86AudioPrev'"
b:11
"xte 'key XF86AudioNext'"
b:12
This way, the multimedia keys are mapped as real multimedia keys, I think amarok is configured to work with multimedia keys by default
Hope this helps And sorry for not having it shared before... enjoy!

Xorg.conf Acer Aspire 3000 xinerama [request][SOLVED]

Anyone having an acer aspire 3000 laptop with xinerama working?
Or anyone with a "sis" driver laptop with xinerama?
I would be very very grateful if someone could post a working xorg.conf file with xinerama working for any of the above setups.
Been struggling all night with this and can't get it to work.
Or does anyone know of any tutorial that works to get xinerama up and running?
Ask2

This xorg.conf works. Acer Aspire 3000
Xinerama works nicely except its very very slow and locks up computer during some screen events, like moving a terminal and stuff.

You'll just have to change the keyboard setup to fit it to your needs

Make my Acer Aspire read the card AT ALL, any suggestions ?

I know that some other users have had issues previous to mine when it comes to automounting SDcards&microSDcards running arch on Acer Aspires ..
I would just want some kind of way to utilize that slot for my 1gb SUNDISK at all .. because more space, I consider it to be a project of mine to get it to work somehow. Would very much appreciate the help you guys !
simpy mounting it doesn't cut it.. here's lspci

Now I have read somewhere that I can be unfortunate enough to have to tinker with my kernel in order for it to work, but I can't really recall where.

Graysky's reaction was going to be mine too. As that was already here, I took a step back and rethought it for a while - you might want to do the same with your initial post. Certainly no one here has a need to defend archlinux or hold any pride in it - but when your initial post in a thread can be interpreted as "your distro of choice is known to suck, but maybe you can make it work anyways" then you shouldn't expect a warm reception.
Taking my step back, I see there is a fair chance I am misinterpretting that comment; but I doubt I'd be the only one to take it this way.
If you want help mounting an SD card, lets stick with that. I have absolutely no issues mounting and SD or micro SD cards in arch. So we should figure out why your system is not working the way it should rather than assume it should not be expected to work.
On a cursory glance of the info posted, I see that the partition table is not recognized. Is the SD card formatted? If so, how? Can in be read on other distros/OSs?
Ofcourse Arch linux isn't a sucky distro, it's the superior one !
I will have to defend myself a little by stating that english is ofcourse not my main language and my intent was not at all to talk down Arch as a distro, I've chosen it and ran with it for god knows how long now.. maybe a year or two ? It is now my main distribution.. getting down and dirty with things like this however can be really challenging.
But my utmost apologies, I never meant to scold Arch as a distro, out of all the distros Arch is probably the one standing ground right now.
