# Acer Aspire 7720

For 64-bit install, update BIOS first to fix ACPI and wireless problems. If you use 32-bit there shouldn't be problems.

Hardware | Details | Status
--- | --- | ---
HDD | WDC WD2500BEVS-22UST0 250GB | Works.
Screen/Graphics | Acer 17" (1440x900), Intel x3100 | Works fully.
Wireless | Intel 3945 | Works after you install the firmware. I used netcfg2 or wicd for management of WLAN.
Ethernet | Broadcom BCM5787 (tg3 driver) | Works out of box.
Audio | Realtek ALC268 | Working well. Recording from the internal microphone is flawed, however.
Card Reader | 5-in-1 card reader supports optional MultiMediaCard™, Secure Digital card, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick PRO™ or xD-Picture Card™ | Works only for SD? MS is not recognized?
Webcam | Acer "Crystal Eye" Webcam | Works (uvcvideo)
Touchpad | ALPS PS/2 | Works (with current X releases no need to configure).
Bluetooth | Broadcom "A-Link BlueUsbA2" | Works
Remote control sensor |  | Works: install LIRC, the driver is lirc_ene0100. I successfully command MPD and MPlayer with it.

## What doesn't work

Hibernation (is still flaky). Suspend seems to work OK with kernel 2.6.35, xorg 1.9.
