Hi,

I suggest to try to disable integrated GPU in BIOS. If it is possible.

best regards

yes, in this way it works

Hi, could you explain how you managed to disable the intel gpu in the bios

[Schizoid]

in new bios there is a "graphic" option, you only have to set it to "discrete" (or something else similar)

i didn't find any option in bios. My bios is v1.08 , do you have a newer one ?

[Schizoid]

yes, i took version 1.11 from acer support site
(unfortunately it installs only under windows...)

You might want to check if Flashrom supports your machine

I upgraded the bios, and did as you told, but the ubuntu install crashed for some reason and I got only blank screen. After finally re-installing ubuntu, everything seems to work except for the internal mic, did you ever manage to make it work ?
Thanks for the tip.

my mic works out of the box, maybe you just have to update your kernel or your alsa module
