Also Confirmed - vendor issue, not Ubuntu - BIOS upgrade fixed
brightness / suspend issues as well for me.  Everything now works
flawlessly.

A bit OT but in case others arrive here via google: the V5-122P BIOS
updates *require* you to be running Windows 8 or newer.  If you aren't
dual booting into Windows, Acer forcing a Windows 8 binary in order to
update the BIOS makes for a *very* bad day.  FreeDOS does not work, not
even WindowsPE on 32-bit works - it has to be Windows 8.

Note being, when looking to buy hardware in the future not only will be
googling linux compatability, but also checking to make sure  the vendor
is releasing BIOS patches which are easily installed using Linux as
well.
