[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.3 does not recognize the keyboard and touchpad in Acer Aspire 4553 notebook
Hello, I just tried to install OpenSuSE 11.3 fresh on an Acer Aspire 4553 . Most things work but for some reason the built-in keyboard and the touchpad are not recognized. I can hook a USB mouse and USB keyboard and both works but the built-in keyboard and touchpad are not recognized. I know that the keyboard and touchpad are fine because they work well on Windows 7. The only moment when I see the keyboard working is on the boot menu. After booting it does not work. During the installation it was not working either. I had to use the USB mouse and keyboard there. I already tried booting with run level 3, noacpi, etc... without luck. I have no idea what to do now. Anybody can help? -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

For the record I solved the problem disabling acpi in the boot options adding: acpi=off It was not working before because I entered noacpi. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos JS Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in JavaScript http://www.jsclasses.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Seems like that machine is way too new to require ACPI=Off if you ask me, and who knows what else does not work with that turned off. I remember having to do this with marginal hardware around the year 2000. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
