On the Acer 532h netbooks, I've run into two issues I haven't cared enough to fix just yet: The SDHC reader didn't work at all under the last build of Ubuntu, and the mouse was problematic. The multi-touch trackpad caused frequent errors when using whatever the default mouse driver was, but there was a fix out there somewhere. Upgraded to the current version a week or three prior to its release, but that caused the mouse to become completely unresponsive. Been too busy to deal with it since, but beware: These particualar etbooks aren't exactly problem-free.
On the issue of the SDHC slots, it's been reported that they would often show up during initialization if a card was in the slot during boot up. There should be a way to reprobe the hardware, but no one had posted what to use the last time I'd looked around.
Do you know what the maker is on the multitouch pad? Mine is premultitouch, but it's a Synaptics, IIRC.
