I have been having problems with my graphics card, heres the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1629799
Hello
Does anybody know how the bug with bt can be won?
It seems that at the first boot to ubuntu after windows(with working bt) it turns on for 1 second when I press Fn+F3 several times. But after it turns down, and I can't make him switch on again.
Also, after that bt doesn't working in win7 too...but all returns in normal state(working in win, and not working in ubuntu) when win7 downloads and installs some updates.
Mine works normally with Fn+F3.
I am having some problems, are there any solutions to these?
1. Laptop heats up pretty fast (in an hour of surfing only it hits upto 60-65, while in windows even after a movie its just at 47 (deg cel)). To clear up any confusion, the fan works perfectly in ubuntu.
2. I am unable to run games through wine (I have checked the supported games list and CS and warcraft was there, I have also tried searching), I am using a 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10
3.SOLVER WITH BIOS UPDATEBattery/AC power is not displayed.(I have tried help and some commands, it shows that gdm power manager is running)
Solution:- First you need to check if you have the acpi. To check type in terminal
If not install it will tell you to type the following to installCode:acpi
Code:sudo apt-get install acpi
4. The ATI card issue remains unsolved for me.(how to switch to intels?)

Hello. Looking for information about this model I frequently came to this page http://www.linlap.com/wiki/acer+aspire+4820+timelinex . I see high potential in this laptop. Other people would came to this page too. Can someone clarify data in it? Does 'tested' in table mean 'works'? Can someone summarize one need to do to fix solved problems?
Good luck.
i'm glad to know i did my small part to help the community
not problem on clarifying the data - the computer works perfectly after the bios 1.19 and various fixes (easily performed) from this website (from the first quote)

Almost all of my issues have been solved. I have to still test games which I will do so after my exams (after 23rd dec).
For anyone having problems I suggest the following
Problems & solutions for Ubuntu 10.10 on 4820TG
1. Battery/Power issues
Get the latest BIOS from acer and install (I did it through my windows, really easy, just have to execute a file)
Log in ubuntu and install acpi and reboot.
2. Card switching issues.
This is my post(click me) realted to the problem which has been now solved.
This is the solution.(click me)
Thats all the basic issues I had. I have compared the copy speeds and ubuntu is just a bit faster(normal test nothing fancy with lots of runs or anything).
I have also ready that game fps are good for ubuntu rather than windows (I saw the WoW video), so I will try some games out later.
I would really like to thank the ubuntu community for their help in resolving my problems.
