[Unlocked] Acer aspire One d257 advance menu request

[camiloml]

If you tell me 1.14 has super neccesary fixes or improvements by manufacturer will unlock it also, but if it's just for the pleasure of updating to last without a need ... u know, my time is valuable for other real interesting things.

Sorry for the long wait about testing...

tested v1.12 unlocked AAO 257 Bios with my meego device.

tested succesfully... no problems.

things to know about the unlocked bios:

1. no you cant overclock your AAO 257
2. you have to reinstall synaptics touchpad driver on win 7 pro 32 bit
3. (not sure about) you can activate a 4. usb device -> windows will recognize it as card reader and the card reader seems to work under windows as usb device - but not able to boot from it.
4. not really usefull if you are a normal user because optimal biossettings were made by acer - you are loosing warraty if you install it!!!! (and its because of lack of advantages not recommend to install it as an average user)

and hey ubuntu 11.10 loads bluetooth drivers... perhaps there is a bluetooth device in the meego version an now activated... have to look about in my freetime...

bye ms

how about version 1.04 and 1.08 is the option for VT exist,if so, can u unlock it ?? if this is not possible, is there any version of bios that will work with aod257 and get VT to be enabled.
since the cpu is capable of VT.
thanks in advance.

[camiloml]

Don't believe older versions have that option, in fact menu module is same for 1.10, 1.12 and 1.14

[yesta]

this sucks man.....it has to be a way around it man?? it has to be an alternative to get VT up and enabled
