[Bug 560464] Re: "acer-wmi: Unable to detect available WMID devices" on boot

[Jamie Borg]

Confirmed on Acer Aspire 4741G.  Initial install was fine on default
graphics drivers. But the Ubuntu recommended the installation of the
NVIDIA drivers and that is when I get the WMID error and it locks out on
the Boot Screen after 2 dots are lit.  The system is totally
unresponsive.  Forced Power Down.

Ubuntu update has since applied latest kernel and I have downloaded and
installed the latest NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA.  Same issue with
lockout at the Boot Screen.

Can run the system on the default graphics in the meantime.  Will try a
couple of these workarounds.
