Also, i've been running trusty in a very similar laptop to the one I used for this report (same CPU/Chipset) but using a slightly different video card, instead: G86M [GeForce 8600M GS].
And that works.
I've noticed they have a different bios version, though:
- Not working: v1.3804
- Working: v1.3804
So, I've upgrade this laptop bios to version v1.3818, and magically things work now.
Then, while I think we're still somewhat regressing in handling that old-configured-hw, Acer 5920G users should know that they need to upgrade their bios to have trusty properly running.
