Package: acerhk-source
Version: 0.5.35-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After few frustrating reading sicles i read in the driver that it should not be
run in amd64 mode.
this quote :
/* This driver is heavily dependent on the architecture, don't let
43 * anyone without an X86 machine use it. On laptops with AMD64
44 * architecture this driver is only useable in 32 bit mode.
45 */
explains it.
perheps the gentoo patch should be added here
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Acer_Aspire_5102WLMi)
the strange thing that this package is even instalable (since it can only work
in 32bit).
here is gentoo's patch .
