I remember I tried Fedora months ago, and it had the same problem. Don't know about Arch. Acer laptops don't seem to be very Linux-friendly. I eventually sold my laptop and bought a Compaq c700. Ubuntu Intrepid works flawlessly on it. I'm amazed. I think I'm going to report this to Acer, in case they take their customers into account. The guys at Ubuntu are doing a lot to keep up with the wide range of new computers being released all the time. I wouldn't blame it on them if something is not working. I think we have to put the pressure on companies like Acer and show them that their products should be more Linux friendly.
