+<PRE>On Tuesday 29 May 2012 09:22 my mailbox was graced by a message from Renaud
+(Ron) Olgiati who wrote:

+&gt;<i> Been asked to upgrade an Acer eMachines e525 laptop that up to now was

+</I>
+Found a work-around on an Unbubtu list:
+one must add acpi_osi=Linux to the line under &quot;title linux&quot; in
+/boot/grub/menu.lst
+
+Only problem, that would make this rather difficult for a newbee, is that you
+cannot do it in Mageia, since your screen is not showing; so out comes the
+Mandriva LiveCD, boot, config, mount the Mageia / or /boot partition, vi
+/boot/grub/menu.lst, save and reboot.
+
+Only fly in the ointment, the Fn keys now work, but in reverse, v makes the
+screen brighter, and ^ make it darker.
+
+Should this be reported as a bug ? If so, how does one do it ?
+
+Cheers,
+
+Ron.
