(model 7715z, acer) booted live cd noticed screen going black normaly show ubuntu loading screen, after few tries, managed screen working through entering keys manage laptops brightness in random manner (this might work other keys haven't tried it). did this, terminal usual showed keycharacters response, after whitch succesfully showed live system.

above first problem i'd with.
secondly

while in live ubuntu system mousepad did not work @ followed few standard procedures on ubuntu guides told me assume kernel compatability issue.
