Ubuntu 9.04 works good which is upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 in Acer 5315 that contains all devices including touchpad, wireless and webcamera.
Ubuntu 8.10 is recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 in my Acer 5315 laptop. It took 6 hours time to reach the final configuration. It supports all devices which are inbuilt in the machine.
Wireless works good:
The wireless is also working good but the light is not buring. The important point of this version is also not supported the integrated web camera. But I achieved in a round about way that is used through VLC Player which is designed for accessing integrated devices also.
The steps for illustration are as follows:
Applications->Sound & Video->VLC Player
that can be used for accessing webcamara as well as TV tuner cards.
To upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10, press Alt+F2 and type in “update-manager -d” (without the quotes) into the command box.
Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release ‘9.04′ is available. Click Upgrade
This will show you Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Release notes click on upgrade
