There was an issue of not being able to shut down. When shutting down, the system would restart itself. Here's a fix I found on a blog (http://www.pbehnke.com/main/node/11):
[enum]
[*] Create an init script in /etc/init.d (Example: create a file named /etc/init.d/haltusbpower)[/*]
[*] Put the following in the script:
[code]#! /bin/bash
#
# haltusbpower init script
#
# chkconfig: 345 99 20
# description: A script to act as a workaround for the bug in the runtime power management module, which causes my acer aspire v5-571 laptop to restart after shutting down.
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: haltusbpower
# Default-Stop: 0 1 3 5
# Short-Description: Halt USB Powersave mode
# Description: A script to halt usb power control.
### END INIT INFO
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
# Bus list for the runtime power management module.
buslist="usb"
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo "USB bug fix active"
#no-op on startup
;;
stop)
echo "Turning off USB Power Control"
for bus in $buslist; do
for i in /sys/bus/$bus/devices/*/power/control; do
echo on > $i
done
done
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/haltusbpower {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0[/code][/*][/p]
[*] Create a symbolic link in /etc/rc0.d to the script you created in the previous step. [p]Example:
[code]ln -s /etc/init.d/haltusbpower /etc/rc0.d/haltusbpower[/code][/*][/p]
[/enum]
One issue remains: I cannot change the backlight brightness.
