You either know, or you don't. Neither is fatal:

@thedaemon how do you start x?
@thedaemon pugging it out and back in helps in my case.
@patricksamphire I like it, but won't use it. I want to poison the well.

@freezr I had luck finding drivers through archive.org for old IMB machines, but without the url, it's a dead end.

This is as far as I got:

https://web.archive.org/web/20110411081755/http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/LX.PTV02.315

You would think there would be a link to the drivers' page, but there is not.

Similarly with the link from my previous toot:

https://web.archive.org/web/20111002085547/http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

this doesn't work.

...

I tried looking through old forums, but nobody linked to this specific machine.

Theoretically, if you could find a url for a different machine from that time period, maybe you could guess the drivers' page for 1830T.

There are a bunch of spooky third-party websites which list direct downloads to what (allegedly) you're looking for, but... I wouldn't. If you want to consider those sources, let me know..

@freezr Did you try this?

I'm guessing this a program that will pull the required drivers, but you need windows apparently. The drivers may exist on archive.org, but you'd need a full link where they were previously stored (acer changed the url syntax since), since the look-up for a specific machine does not work. ie:
