in which plartform are you running your system in linux or windows????
if its windows and you havent formartted your machine yet use the emachine console to burn the drivers and the whole os backup.
if you running it under linux go to softpedia and download

and i bet ur using latest ubuntu or debian or fedora (kernel 2.6.29.4 higher/latest)

Brightness on E725:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Add acpi_osi=Linux on the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash” GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux”
sudo update-grub
It works (on my laptop).
Are your key combinations correct? (Fn+⇐ Fn+⇒)

Hey mates hello i have acer e725,i have one problem with my built in microphone, i dunno if it exactly exist or not,can somebody tell me is it true that microphone is integrated to dat laptop? cuz i've tried to check it in win and ubuntu (now im using ubuntu 9.10) and it looks like that isn't exists. Maybe i should contact my vendors? or maybe there are solutions for problem? thanks for advices!
This model does not come with a built-in microphone, you have to plug in an external one.
How pitty
emachines e725, causes a background sound, when attached a 5.1 speaker set and set volume to full. This is not the case with my other two laptops, any idea, suggestion please??

hi i installed rhel4 on my emachine e725 but ethernet not working where i can find ethernet driver for emachines
thanks
roopesh
Ethernet requires the “atl1c” driver, not “atl1e” as it appears. Works perfectly for me. The only problem is the inability of the kernel 2.6.31 to set the lcd brightness. I think this is being worked on. To read the current brightness:
cat /proc/acpi/video/OVGA/DD02/brightness
The kernel accepts this:
echo 50 > /proc/acpi/video/OVGA/DD02/brightness
And changes the value but the actual brightness does not change.
I have had a couple problems. Centos 5.4
1:The Ethernet did not automatically install.
During the install the back light of the monitor turned off..
I had to actually edit the xorg.conf file and add
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html
when I have my laptop connected to a projector on boot, it sends the signal to the projector, and I lose the signal on my laptop…
( I boot in run level 3 ) the initialization of run level three is automatically detected which is nice, but I am still looking into cloning.
2: I have not played a sound file, but alsamixer works.
3: I have not tested the web cam.
4: USB good
5: optical drive works ( i installed it from there :D )
I'm still looking into fixing everything to make it work. I do have un-installed updates to do, so I will get those done and post again.
i also had to add
HorizSync 30-107
VertRefresh 48-120
to the xorg.. then my screen was fully lit.
the wireless works.. i can scan, but I cant connect to anything at my college because the admins don't assist you… and “you need to use IE.” from what i'm told.
but i will test wireless at home

Installing Ubuntu 9.04 works well. After the installation I have found two problems:
1. Ethernet did not work. After upating across wireless internet connection ethernet worked.
2. Setting the brilliance does not work.
