The Acer Aspire 5920 works just fine with an up to date Linux distribution.
Discussion
I can confirm that the Aspire 5920 4-pin firewire does indeed work in Linux Mint 14. Fan speed seems to be out of control and often runs at full speed, even when the cpu temperature is below 40 C.
If you have the Acer 5920G and have the ATI HD3470. I can tell you that the default setting for the LCD screen will work fine but you will be surprised with these settings for your Laptop screen, it really changes it from looking stuffy and colour less to bright pin sharp and accurate colour!.
I am using Mint 9 LTS with the Acer 5920G and I can say I'm happy with it. I have tried no other Distros on it and I don't intend until I get a new laptop.
Use the AMD Calalyst Control Center, go to where it says colour and use these settings. You will see a adjustments box this is where you need to change to these settings.
Brightness -28 this is an minus value -
Contrast 132
Saturation 120
Hue Just use the Default setting, No changes 0.
The default settings with the Calalyst Control Center are Crap!
I used my calibration expertise on this, Please give it a try.
You cannot mess it up because you can just click on Default tab.
