Acer Aspire One 751h 1366 x 768 resolution fix for Ubuntu

It took some time, and there were a few false leads, but I was able to finally get the correct resolution in my AAO while using Ubuntu.

These instructions come from http://www.aspireoneuser.com
Thanks to Allanon

Step 1: Update your system

sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install the Authentication key for the software provider

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys C6598A30


Step 3: Add the following sources to your software repositories

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Note: These can be added to the /etc/apt/source.list file or through Synaptic

Step 4: Update your system with the new software

sudo apt-get update

Step 5: Installing the driver

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-psb
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install psb-kernel-source

Reboot

Note: If you install a new kernel, run the following in the terminal after the update

sudo dkms build -m psb-kernel-source -v 4.41.1
sudo dkms install -m psb-kernel-source -v 4.41.1


To automate this step enter the following in the terminal

sudo gedit /etc/dkms/dkms.conf

Type in the following and save the file

AUTOINSTALL=YES

Also note: Suspend does not appear to be working on my system. The system wakes up, but there is no video on the display... Another problem to fix...

I'll keep you posted.
