Hi, 

This is a report of things don't work on an Acer Aspire AS5536.

............................................................................

Is X running at the correct resolution?

Not sure, since xwininfo is not installed. but xrandr reports 
wrong resolution. 

3-D Acceleration?

Probably not, since glxinfo is not available/installed.

Does the trackpad work? Partially.

    * Does it move the mouse pointer? Yes
    * Does the right hand side emulate a mouse scroll wheel? No
    * Does the trackpad single click, click & hold work? No

Does the sound work? Yes, the speaker-test works.

Does pressing the volume hotkeys raise, lower and mute volume?

Yes for raise, lower volume -- there is dialog appearing on
screen showing the current volume. But mute doesn't work.

Does pressing the sleep button cause the machine to sleep? No

Is CPU frequency scaling supported? No

 sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd start

shows the error 

 required sysfs object not found. 

............................................................................

The most important thing to note is that, all above things don't work
under Grml Medium works fine out of box in Unbunto. 

Most of them are fundamental features, IMHO. Hope that future Grml Medium 
may include some of the above fundamental features. 

Thanks
