+<PRE>The solution:
+
+When installing Mageia (1 or 2) on an Acer eMachine e525, and you end up with
+a black screen:
+Reboot with the install DVD, and go for &quot;Update Mageia n&quot;
+
+When the install reaches the post-install config step:
+Go to Bootloader =&gt; Configure =&gt; Next
+
+You are now shown the various entries of the Grub menu and can modify them one
+by one; just do that, adding acpi_osi=Linux to all the Mageia lines.
+
+If you know your machine has this problem, you can do all this as part of the
+original Mageia install process, saves time ;-3)
+
+Be aware that for reasons unclear, the Fn keys for more or less backlight are
+inverted: Fn + ^ for less light, Fb + v for more.
+
+Cheers,
+
+Ron.
