[Bug 1307233] Re: Acer Aspire 3003WLMi problems

 

There is no 3D hardware acceleration for SiS GPU's. Unity is just not
going to run fast...

  Acer Aspire 3003WLMi does not power off or reboot

Bug description:
  I just Installed Ubuntu 14.04 RC on an old Acer Aspire 3003WLMi, after
  a very successful install on a Dell Inspiron 6000.

  Both machines seems to have the same capabilities.

  BUT :

  1- NO wifi detected on the ACER.  (OK on the Dell)
       My first installation hang on kernel configuration for the wifi driver.
       I found on a blog that un-checking the "use proprietary modules" solved the problem and allowed the installation

  2- Machine completely unresponsive with Unity (3D accelerator seems absent) but completely functional with Xubuntu desktop)
      (Surprisingly smooth on the Dell)

  3- NEVER power off when "shutdown" or "reboot" is requested.
       Every thing seems stopped. but the machine remains powered and the "shutdown screens" continue to run with its animation

  I think that this is caused by missing specific/proprietary drivers,
  BUT when I check for "proprietary drivers" none are proposed....
