Updating BIOS was a real headbanger. In the end I downloaded a dos live usb image and have succesfully updated my BIOS. It now all seems better. dmi-decode thingies say: V1.08 11/29/2011 and touchpad seem to function rather great (with Arch, with latest upstream kernel and with latest development release). Seems I've also been derailled by the touchpad acting differently than on my other laptop. Scroll is two-fingers, as is right click. I guess button below is a single mouse button (or at least it acts like that).
Anyway, thing I keep having is that on boot I cannot login. The password box seems to have focus, but typing does nothing. Workaround I use is: -> CTL-ALT-F1 ALT-F7 (After wich I can change focus to other elements) -> wander around at the top right corner (change focus from password box???) -> reselect password box Thing is that in Arch I have a simillar focus issue that I can only resolve by CTL-ALT-F1 ALT-F7. So I still can only use Linux after 'resetting some things' by the WA. And this WA was the only thing that helped me when I had the focus issue. So, I guess that the issue could have been resolved for about 90% with bios update, but now only needs a one-time reset with the WA? Could be that the login issue is a different one. I will try without login and I will try with Ubuntu Desktop 13-10. If that helps, I will retry with a reinstall of the latest development release... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1096042 Title: [Acer Aspire 5749] Mouse cannot click on items that have focus Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With my Acer Aspire 5749 using Ubuntu 11.10 through 12.10, when I start, and login, everything works fine for a short moment, but after a while, my mouse doesn't seem to click anymore. When this arises I can still click on the sidebar, and in the menu of the application that has focus. However, clicking on an icon on my desktop doesn't work and clicking on a button, textfield, etc. inside an application does not work either. I can still move around in the app (using <tab> and <enter>), but my mouse clicks do nothing. No left or right click, and no double click. I can still move the mouse and use the scroll part on my touchpad. --- ApportVersion: 2.12.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: sabes 1897 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=02a1a7ef-d31f-4940-9f42-0f3da2e28e35 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-29 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20131229) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.
