Special keys without code given did give any key or scancode. No output on these keys using xev. * Seems to be similar for other notebooks, some solutions using acerhk or acer_acpi modules available on in source. * Euro and Dollar keys are next to the arrow keys, which are quite small. It might be more practical to keep them off in case they get hit accidentally. I guess no one will ever look for these signs there anyway as they are available on the normal keyboard. == Energy == Using the tips from powertop and laptop_mode: || Consumption || Estimated runtime || Display || Disk || Radio || || 8,6 W || 7,8 h || off || hd spinning || none || || 9,5 W || ~ 7,0 h || low backlight || hd spinning || none || === Notes === * With SU9400 and 3G modem (low backlight, wlan off, bluetooth off) the best I could get is 10.6-11 W * With the new 1.15 BIOS (20091117) all P-states from 800MHz to 1.4 GHz are available: 9.5 W == Open Issues == === USB autosuspend === Even after triggering USB autosuspend for the webcam, bluetooth and the 3G modem as recommended by powertop, they still produce wakeups. === Fingerprint reader === Manufacturer: [[https://www.egistec.com|Egistec]] lsusb -v -d 1c7a:0801 {{{ Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1c7a:0801 LighTuning Technology Inc.
