Suspend not working on Acer Aspire One AO751h

Hi everyone!
New forum user here
So, I did a fresh install of Arch on the Aspire One AO751h. I worked out pretty much everything I need except the suspend function. I have 2 main problems with it:
A- If I close the lid, the netbook enters immediately suspend mode but there is no way to wake it up except by unplugging every power source and booting again.
Same result if I use
pm-suspend
B- If I try to enter suspend mode using Fn+F4, nothing happens.
Regarding point A, I already read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac … wer_button;
I didn't flash the bios because I don't actually need the suspend to work with the lid: I just want it to work from terminal or keyboard shortcut, so I prefer not to mess with the bios.
And I don't feel like using the custom kernel for aspire one because it's more than 2 years old.
Any other solutions?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Giacomo
ps: sorry for my poor english, non native speaker.

Of course within a couple of hours of this post I figured it out.
I went to /etc/conf.d/gpm and added "-2" for two button mouse.
GPM_ARGS="-2 -m /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input8""
Now I can paste by simultaneously clicking the left/right buttons.

Firefox Slow Even When Offline on Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145

I have a 2gb RAM, 1.33 Ghz Intel Atom CPU Z520, and a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145. I have no viruses and no programs running in the background. I've installed and uninstalled various versions of Firefox (4, 11, 12) and even upon a fresh install before I edit preferences, bookmarks, or add-ons, the PROGRAM ITSELF is super slow. It isn't using any more RAM or processer speed that it should, however. What it does: Menus are slow to open, scrolling is jumpy, and switching from tab to tab takes like 2 seconds. Internet Explorer 8 works just fine, as do all other programs on the computer. Also, it works fine in Safe Mode. I can't find anything regarding this issue online. Help!

Thanks for reply. But, drivers are up to date. However, I found on this page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers) that I might want to disable hardware acceleration. I did that through the options menu and Firefox is "usable," but still not what I'm used to on other computers and still not as fast as IE on the same computer. Since turning of the hardware acceleration helped, what else can I do along the same lines to speed it up more? I know a 1.33GHz processor is plenty fast enough to run only firefox by itself. The computer I'm on now (my non-netbook) runs at 700MHz when on batteries and has no performance issues. I hope I can get it because I don't want to use another browser! :(

Airport Express won't work with Acer Aspire One

I've recently set-up a wifi network for my parents. They have a cable modem from which an ethernet cable runs to their Vonage modem. From there, another ethernet runs to the Airport Express (set to Bridge Mode). Wifi uses WPA2 Personal encryption.
My MacBook Pro as well as my dad's Dell laptop (Vista) can connect just fine and browse the web, no problemo.
However, my Mom's Acer Aspire One netbook (Win XP) keeps on saying "Acquiring network address" and kind of just hangs there. I've tried resetting the Airport Express to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I'm open to any suggestion guys, thanks!

I'll take a quick pass, but no guarantees as I'm not a PC guy.
XP, depending on the version installed on the Acer may not fully support WPA2 Encryption. Or, if it does, you may need to change some settings on the PC to use TKIP, not AES associated with WPA2.
It might be a bit easier to switch the security to WPA/WPA2 Personal on the AirPort Express and give that a try.
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless Tab > Wireless Security.
The same TKIP/AES thing may still apply on the ACER though, so you'll need to investigate if things are still sticky on the ACER.
Finally, my PC friends tell me that 90% of all connection problems on a PC can be traced to the Firewall settings and/or anti-virus settings. You may have to go into the applications to specifically allow the connection to the Express.

[fixed] Touchpad suddenly not working on Acer Aspire 5670

I am using gnome 2.28 and i never had any problem with my touchpad: I actually cannot recall having updated before this issue came out..... just, suddenly, the touchpad is not working... no movement, no clicking... nothing at all.....
I am using an external useb mouse........ i am also using hotplugging (no xorg.conf).... any idea? Not having mouse is quite frustrating
Last edited by Xi0N (2009-10-29 12:40:11)

that's odd..
does the touchpad works on login screen?
(mine did it there, but no in the desktop)
is it enabled in Bios option?
did you try erasing and re-installing xf86-input-synaptics?
pacman -Rsn xf86-input-synaptics, and then pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
just giving you ideas.. 'cause i don't know what can be the cause
ps: did you read this wiki? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

[ALSA] surround 5.1 not working on Acer Aspire 8943G

My laptop Acer 8943G has a ALC670 Realtek chip.
And it has built-in Dolby Home Theater 5.1 Cinematic Surround.
My problem is that I can't bring all the 5 speakers + subwoofer to work.
I'm using gnome3 (gnome-shell). In pulseaudio I see only surround 4.0, so speaker-test -Dsurround40 -c4 is working great and -Dsurround51 -c4 too but not with -c6:
[_artem_@linux-void ~]$ speaker-test -Dsurround40 -c4 -twav

Playback device is surround40

[_artem_@linux-void ~]$ speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c6 -twav
speaker-test 1.0.24.2
Playback device is surround51
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
WAV file(s)
Channels count (6) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument
Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument
[_artem_@linux-void ~]$
as pulse audio has no 5.1 profile for my hardware I decided to remove it completely, so I did.
now I have just alsa: speaker-test -D default -c6 -twav gives sound only on front-left, front-right, but it gives no error on hwparams
Yesterday on pulseaudio I got speaker-test -c6 -twav to give sound on all the speakers including LFE (subwoofer).
But that worked only with speaker-test, sound settings of gnome still gave me 4.0 profile where I could test only 4 channels.
That's why I wanted to play all the sounds directly through alsa without pulseaudio.
here is alsa-info
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4467f … 7f061397cb
here is alsamixer:
it has no options for channels, only FRONT (left-right) and SURROUND (left-right) no other controls, no LFE, no CENTER, nothing.

I read already almost all the manuals but can't get it working, I played with default.pa, daemon.conf (both with pulseaudio) + .asoundrc
now since I delited pulseaudio completely, I tried everything with .asound + /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf (setting default card, manual setting the model) but nothing works.
I hope you can help me, because I have no idea what to do next

[_artem_@linux-void ~]$
here is how the uncommented model looks like in alsamixer:
so I now have CENTER and LFE that are missing in the default alsa config (screenshot in first post)...
but speaker-test
[_artem_@linux-void ~]$ speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c6 -twav

1 - Front Right
3 - Rear Right #silent
2 - Rear Left #silent
5 - LFE #silent
Time per period = 8.522361
rear left and rear right are always silent on model=3stack-6ch-dig even if I pass to the speaker-test -c4, on another model=*** with -c4 I could here all 4 speakers, but on -c6 only front left and front right (weird because they work on -c4 but on -c6 they are silent...)
if I set in alsamixer Channel Mode to 2 instead of 6, the above command gives me hwparameter error, so it's correcter than before because it can't play 6 channel on a "set to 2 channels hardware".
but I don't still know how to get "center", "rear-*" and "lfe" to give sound.
Maybe you know another models (names) that I can try. I have googled on alc670 alsa models but can't find anything related... one thing (saw in a patch diff that it's quiet "equal" to alc622 and alc272 that's why I tried all the models from above. and some of them are at least visually correcter than the default alsa detection: I mean they give me the correct parts (lfe, center), default one gives only Front and Surround).
p.s. I recompiled kernel with alsa support other ways I wasn't able to compile alsa-driver manually and had no cards to try different model options, because there was no kernel module for snd-hda-intel...

Battery not working on Acer Aspire V5

I got a strange one here - I was working on the computer changing the hard drive and I wanted to turn the power off. I held down the power button but the fan was still spinning (looking at the bottom of the computer). I figured because the fan was still spinning that the power was still on, so I held the button to force the computer to turn off, but the fan kept spinning. Finally I just flipped it over and realized it was off, so maybe the fan just keeps spinning even though the power is off to cool down the CPU? Also think during this time that the power cord was unplugged, but I'm not totally sure... Anyways, took the drive out, put it back in, then powered the system back up. I noticed there were no sleep options when I was trying to change the "close the lid" settings which I thought was kinda strange. Then I pulled the power cord out and the computer just turned off entirely. I don't know what happened to this thing. If I plug the cord in the charge indicator stays amber for about 5 seconds and then goes blue as if it's fully charge. Windows reports that it's fully charged, but it will not turn on without the power cable and will immediately shut off if I inplug it. So did I do something wrong by holding the power button down for so long? I even tried taking the CMOS battery out to see if the BIOS would reset, and also upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. The computer was working great on the battery before - does this seem like a motherboard problem or a battery problem?? Thanks!Mike

Hi Justin,I'm not sure which one as I gave it back to my girlfriend - fortunately buying a used battery fixed the problem!! I was so worried that there was some weird error with the charging circuitry on the motherboard. Thanks for getting back to me! Mike

Acer aspire one webcam not working

Dear all,
I'm having trouble getting the built-in camera in my Acer Aspire One (AOA110 - Ab) to work. It should be an Acer Crystal Eye camera, or a "Microdia Sonix USB" (from here)
In either case, according the Archlinux wiki (link) the uvcvideo module should make it work, and I have added it to my rc.conf.
Whenever I try to open the camera using whichever program, however, I get a message of the camera not being found. Wxcam, for instance, gives the following error:
/dev/video0: No such file or directory
lsusb also doesn't list the camera:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
And these are all the video/webcam related entries I could find in dmesg:
[ 0.242888] pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device

[ 7.136712] USB Video Class driver (v1.0.0)
I remember the webcam working somewhere in the past, but I can't remember when. I'm using the kernel-netbook kernel, but booting with the normal kernel doesn't seem to make any difference.
I haven't tried it with other distributions yet.
Any ideas on what could be the matter? Or any steps I could still take?

Hm, well, glad you've got it working, but my problem, unfortunately, remains.
Here's the output of dmseg | grep usb for me:

The outputs for grepping dmesg with "usb" or "video" are even less filled:

When I checked /var/dmesg.log, however, there were some more informative entries (maybe, they don't help me much):

These entries are also present in /var/dmesg.log when booting with kernel-netbook, so there does not appear to be any different behaviour. The only difference I can see is that kernel-netbook does detect my multi-card reader.

Acer Aspire one will not boot up

When I boot up my Acer Aspire one I get a message that says:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc. contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
The only problem is that my net book has no disc drive. What am I to do??

From ABOUT:
Start
System Recovery Options.
There are several ways of starting System Recovery Options. See How To Access the System Recovery Options Menu in the link above for help.
Open Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options menu.
Note: The
Command Prompt available from the System Recovery Options menu is very similar to the one you may be familiar with within Windows. Also, the following procedure should work as described in both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
At the prompt, type the bootrec
command as shown below and then press Enter:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
The bootrec command will search for Windows installations not included in the Boot Configuration Data and then ask you if you'd like to add one or more to it.
You should see one of the following messages at the
command line.
Option 1
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Option 2
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes<Y>/No<N>/All<A>:
If you see:
Option 1: Move on to Step 5. This result most likely means that Windows installation data in the BCD store exists but bootrec couldn't find any
additional installations of Windows on your computer to add to the BCD. That's fine, you'll just need to take a few extra steps to rebuild the BCD.
Option 2: Enter Y or Yes to the
Add installation to boot list? question, after which you should see a
The operation completed successfully message, followed by a blinking cursor at the prompt. Finish up with Step 10 toward the bottom of the page.
Since the BCD store exists and lists a Windows installation, you'll first have to "remove" it manually and then try to rebuild it again.
At the prompt, execute the bcdedit command as shown and then press Enter:
bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup
The bcdedit command is used here to export the BCD store as a file: bcdbackup. There's no need to specify a
file extension.
The command should return the following on screen:
The operation completed successfully.
meaning the BCD export worked as expected.
At this point, you need to adjust several
file attributes for the BCD store so you can manipulate it.
At the prompt, execute the attrib command exactly like this:
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
What you just did with the attrib command was remove the
hidden, read-only, and
system attributes from the file
bcd. Those attributes restricted the actions you could take on the file. Now that they're gone, you can manipulate the file more freely - specifically, rename it.
To rename the BCD store, execute the ren command as shown:
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
Now that the BCD store is renamed, you should now be able to successfully rebuild it, as you tried to do in Step 3.
Note: You could delete the BCD file entirely since you're about to create a new one. However, renaming the existing BCD accomplishes the same thing since it's now unavailable to Windows, plus provides you yet another layer of backup, in
addition to the export you did in Step 5, if you decide to undo your actions.
Try rebuilding the BCD again by executing the following, followed by Enter:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
which should produce this in the Command Prompt window:
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes<Y>/No<N>/All<A>:
meaning that the BCD store rebuild is progressing as expected.
At the Add installation to boot list? question, type Enter Y or
Yes, followed by the Enter key.
You should see this on screen:
The operation completed successfully.
meaning that the BCD rebuild is complete.
Restart your computer.
Assuming that an issue with the BCD store was the only problem, Windows should start as expected.
If not, continue to troubleshoot whatever specific issue you're seeing that's preventing Windows from booting normally.
Important: Depending on how you started System Recovery Options, you may need to remove a disc or
flash drive before restarting.

[SOLVED] Acer Aspire One D250 LAN not detected.

Hi guys,
Cant seem to find anyone on the net that has the same problem as me, but here it goes.
I have a Acer Aspire One D250, Id really like to run linux on it. There are dozens of posts on the web explaining you need to install the drivers from the Atheros site because the output of lspci is wrong.
Well, the problem that i am having with Arch is that lspci doesnt even show my network card, and as soon as i boot, the light on the physical card turns on, but never goes off (almost like it hangs...)
Ive included the output of Arch's lspci where its not visible, and the output of the ubuntu live netbook remix where it is visible just as the wrong name.
Its almost like arch wants to load the wrong driver and then the card just freezes.... but i dont know, im not a fiull blown linux expert...
Hope someone can help me because its driving me crazy.
This is the output from the arch lspci:

Many thanks for a reply. It's good to get some feedback at least. I must admit I won't be too concerned if it's not compatible as I've since migrated to more useful tablet devices. This thing was always a bit of a mistake, especially with the annoyingly useless android bolt on. But as I use it for the occasional larger screen benefit and printer link, it would be good to have the benefit of latest MS. It still raises the question of why Acer at least can't provide a definitive list. After all there must be many other idiots like me that bought one? Thanks again

[HOWTO] Installing Arch Linux stable release on Acer Aspire One 522

[This is a work on progress and my first howto ever]
These steps will teach you how to install ArchLinux x64 stable release (currently 2010.05) on Acer Aspire One 522 from an existing ArchLinux (your desktop computer)
As you need a 2.6.37+ kernel to make networking work on the AO522, installing stable release as is won't work.
This Howto borns with the intention to address this problem.
You need to be familiarized with Linux internals to follow this howto.
(Expect this howto to become useless with new stable releases of ArchLinux.)
Remember to make a backup of your Windows 7 Starter system before installing ArchLinux.
I did a full raw copy of the harddisk by using systemrescuecd, an external harddisk and dd utility:
Just boot with systemrescuecd
Mount your external harddisk on /mnt/floppy for example
Clone harddisk with: dd if=/dev/sda |gzip -c > /mnt/floppy/ao522.img
This process took me a lot of time since my external harddisk is USB-1 (almost an entire evening)
Result image was about 22GB size
This image will restore partition table, boot sector and all data if things go wrong.
I followed some of the steps from this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
If you have some Gentoo Linux experience you will find those steps really familiar.
You will need 2 USB pendrives or similar storage options.
One is needed to boot into your netbook, and the other to store our custom archlinux build.
Making an updated ArchLinux system
1) Make a local dir on your existing linux system
# mkdir ./newarch
2) Install pacman database on it
# pacman -Sy -r ./newarch
3) Install base system
# pacman -S base -r ./newarch
4) Let's chroot inside
# cp /etc/resolv.conf ./newarch/etc/
# cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ./newarch/etc/pacman.d
# mount -t proc proc ./newarch/proc
# mount -t sysfs sys ./newarch/sys
# mount -o bind /dev ./newarch/dev
# chroot ./newarch /bin/bash
5) Edit configuration files
# nano -w /etc/rc.conf
# nano -w /etc/hosts
# nano -w /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Forget /etc/fstab for now since you don't know what partitions to use yet
6) Generate kernel image
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
7) Generate locales
# nano -w /etc/locale.gen
# locale-gen
8) Make a tarball with our custom ArchLinux
# exit
# umount ./newarch/proc
# umount ./newarch/dev
# umount ./newarch/sys
# tar -cvpf newarch.tar ./newarch
9) Copy this tarball to an USB pendrive or external harddisk
10) Boot your netbook with a Linux bootable USB stick (I used systemrescuecd, and remember to pick the x64 bit kernel at grub screen)
You can use any linux distribution with usb bootable options. I suppose ArchLinux works too
To install SystemRescueCD on an USB stick follow this tutorial -> SystemRescueCD on usb stick
Insert the usb stick on your netbook, switch on, hit F2 to enter BIOS menu, and choose to boot from USB as first option. Save and Exit.
You should be booting into SystemRescueCD without any problem.
After initialization you will end in a root prompt.
11) Let's partition the disk
You will find 3 partitions if this is your first time:
/dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29566976 488397167 229312696 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
My recomendation is to leave sda1 and sda2 intact, as they have the recovery information to restore Windows 7 Starter
You have plenty of space with sda3, about 230G.
So run fdisk/cfdisk and delete /dev/sda3
Now create a 100M partition for boot
Now create a Extended partition with all the space left
Now create a 1GB logical partition for swap
Now create a 10-15 GB logical partition for root system
And finally a logical partition for our home partition with all space left
Your partition table should look like this:
/dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29566976 29771775 102400 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 29771776 488397167 229312696 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 29773824 31821823 1024000 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 31823872 63281151 15728640 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 63283200 488397167 212556984 83 Linux
12) Create filesystems
I choosed ext2 for boot, and reiserfs for root and home partitions.
# mke2fs /dev/sda3
# mkreiserfs /dev/sda6
# mkreiserfs /dev/sda7
# mkswap /dev/sda5
13) Mount partitions
# mkdir arch
# mount /dev/sda6 arch
# mkdir arch/boot
# mount /dev/sda3 arch/boot
# mkdir arch/home
# mount /dev/sda7 arch/home
14) Copy our custom ArchLinux build on it
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy (for example)
# cd arch
# tar -xvpf /mnt/flopy/newarch.tar
15) Configure /etc/fstab
Mine is as follows:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda3 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda6 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda7 /home reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
16) Chroot in your new system
# mount -t proc proc ./proc
# mount -t sysfs sys ./sys
# mount -o bind /dev ./dev
# chroot ./ /bin/bash
17) Install grub
# grub-install
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to suit your needs
Mine looks like this:
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
title Windows 7 Recovery
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
As you see, you can restore Windows 7 Starter from Grub.
18) Change root password
# passwd
19) Add a regular user account
# useradd -G video,audio,users -m username
# passwd username
20) You're done!
# exit
# cd ..
# umount ./arch/proc
# umount ./arch/dev
# umount ./arch/sys
# umount ./arch/boot
# umount ./arch/
# reboot
Remove the usb stick from your netbook.
If all went ok, you will be inside your new stable and updated ArchLinux system

Using acpid to achieve the following:
- Change screen brightness when operating in battery mode
- Power off when the power button is pressed
- Suspend when the lid is down
- Reduce CPU frequency speed to maximize battery usage
Remember that system suspend is only supported by ati free driver xf86-video-ati
1) Install acpid daemon and cpufrequtils
# pacman -S apcid cpufrequtils
2) edit acpid handler script
# nano -w /etc/acpi/handler.sh
Change the following section:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
AC)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo -n $minspeed >$setspeed
#/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode start
00000001)
echo -n $maxspeed >$setspeed
#/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode stop
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
for:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
ACAD)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 800Mhz
cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 800Mhz
00000001)
echo 9 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1000Mhz
cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 1000Mhz
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
Make sure you changed AC) for ACAD)
Now change this other section:
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in
PWRF) logger "PowerButton pressed: $2" ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
with:
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in
PWRF) poweroff ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
Change:
button/lid)
#echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
for:
button/lid)
pm-suspend && /etc/rc.d/network restart
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
Network restart is used because wlan0 will disconnect from AP after some time. You can try using iwconfig wlan0 essid <ap> key <key> instead of the network script, but haven't tested it myself.
3) Start acpid and load modules
# modprobe powernow-k8
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start
Add "acpid" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to start on boot
Add "powernow-k8" to the modules sections on /etc/rc.conf to load at boot
Stopping system freezes due to ethernet driver
The only way people have found to avoid freezes is by blacklisting atheros kernel drivers.
To do it at boot just edit /etc/rc.conf and change the MODULES line as this:
MODULES=(!ath9k !atl1c)
Reboot and you're done, but remember to not press the Wifi key, because it can freeze your system.
Correctly starting wireless at boot
I've found that standard scripts wont load properly my wireless lan. It gave an error telling you to use the WIRELESS_TIMEOUT variable and such.
To solve this, edit /etc/rc.d/network script and change the wi_up function by adding a second iwconfig command like this:
wi_up()
eval iwcfg="\$wlan_${1}"
[[ ! $iwcfg ]] && return 0
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
[[ $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT ]] || WIRELESS_TIMEOUT=2
sleep $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
bssid=$(iwgetid $1 -ra)
It will do the trick and will start at boot correctly. This is not a solution but a fix.
Adjust Touchpad to disable false taps
What I did here is defining an area to be ignored. This area are 3 rectangles on top, left and right of the touchpad.
This means you can write and press space without having the cursor click out of the window and such.
# synclient AreaLeftEdge=150
# synclient AreaRightEdge=1300
# synclient AreaTopEdge=300
Also, add it to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "AreaTopEdge" "300"
Option "AreaLeftEdge" "150"
Option "AreaRightEdge" "1300"
EndSection
You can play with those values. They just work for me.

Acer Aspire One A0A 150: screen flicker, blanking (intel driver?)

Being the stubborn sort, I've been struggling for more than a month with the following problem, to no avail.
The screen on my Acer flickers while running X (seems to be independent of window manager I run.) Even worse, at random intervals, the screen will actually go completely black (or sometimes green or blue, but usually black.)
To be clear, I am not absolutely sure the flickering and screen blanking are related to each other... only 90% certain.
The flickering and blanking seem completely unrelated to what I'm doing on the computer. The blanking will happen if I'm watching a movie, or even if I'm simply typing an email (in fact, it has happened as I typed this post!) When the screen blanks out, the only way to recover it is to shut the lid of the laptop, wait a couple of seconds, and open it again. Closing the laptop lid suspends the laptop and the screen seems to recover when the computer wakes up. Nothing else seems to bring the screen back: not console switching, not killing X, nor any magic key combination. Before I figured out that suspend/resume would bring back the screen, I had to reboot it with SysRq-B.
Although the flicker/blanking happens frequently, it leaves no traces I can find in either dmesg or Xorg log. I do not use an xorg.conf file.
One MIGHT think it is a hardware issue, but it NEVER occurs when I boot into Windows XP. I have used XP for days without any flicker or blanking (hence one reason I think the two issues are related.) Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't occur when I boot the computer into xPUD.
Some research led me to think my issue might be with the intel driver. With that in mind, I've tried different versions of the driver:
xf86-video-intel from both extra and testing.
xf86-video-intel-git from AUR
xf86-video-intel-newest from AUR.
(In each case, with the appropriate dependencies, etc.)
Presently, I'm using the driver from testing, but none of the drivers has made any noticeable difference: the problem remains.
Finally, I am using Tera's one-dev kernel for the Acer Aspire One, available in AUR.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? It's driving me to rely on Windows XP a lot more often, as suspending/resuming the laptop when it blanks out really interrupts my work. Please save me from Windows :-)

Thanks. Means I yet again learned something about linux the trial and error way.
I actually used a setup where KMS was disabled and UVESAFB enabled, since the Arch Wiki entry on Splashy strongly recommended UVESAFB and didn't mention KMS. Oh well. KMS enabled now, the UVESAFB daemon thrown out. I should probably get a wiki account, suggest a clarification of that entry to prevent other newbies from making the same mistake.
EDIT: Added a section on KMS to the Arch Wiki entry on Splashy

Can't boot Arch from USB on Acer Aspire One...

Hi All,
New to the forums, relatively new to Linux. I've tried several distros including #!, U/K/Xubuntu, Mint, Kuki, Puppy and Wolvix. However none of them, except maybe Mint, have played very nicely with my Acer Aspire One netbook. Even Kuki was a bit of a disaster, though I liked the Midori browser, first time I'd used it was under Kuki.
Intro aside, I want to try Arch. I am not scared of a bit of hands-on work via CLI, although am certainly no expert when it comes to CLI & Linux!
The problem is, I created a USB install for the latest 32bit version of Arch using Unetbootin (I tried both under Windows and Linux, creating USB live sticks with both). However when I try to boot from USB, all goes well until just after a message during the boot process appears. I forget off the top of my head what the error message says, though it appears after successfully waiting 30 seconds to discover a SCSI drive (or something along those lines).
The error has nothing to do with the drive, it's related to the step in the boot process that comes after that. Whatever the message is (I'm at work so cannot access logs or anything right now) it ends up asking me to resolve from a CLI prompt, which then leaves me with a prompt dialog, or to restart and try again.
Nothing seems to work so I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if it might be a bug with Unetbootin or a bug with the latest version of Arch? Or simply a good old fashioned ID10T error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll mark this as an ID10T error for now then. I'll give the USB install image a try tonight. On a side note, does Arch come with Skype pre-installed and if not, is it relatively simple to install a la the *.deb package install?
