I thank them at this point.
It is true that only in Lecacy mode Linux is installed correctly. Because as I initially did not manage to convert UEFI on Lecacy and finally Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome installed in this mode, because I had read that Ubuntu UEFI can, me indeed succeeded the installation, but when I started the system and was pleased that everything had apparently worked well, I had been looking forward too early. When updating the screen froze and the restart was Ubuntu Gnome no longer seen.
That's when I then realized that it had to be legacy.
So I went into the bios by pressing F2 and tried around with the arrow keys, but nothing helped. Until I used the enter key or Enter key. Behold, a small window opened and I could choose between UEFI and Legacy. Saved with F10 and left with Exit (Esc) the BIOS. After that, everything went like clockwork.
First I installed a LinuxMint 17 KDE, but KDE did not like. With Cinnamon I ended up being very satisfied. Everything has been recognized by this Linux and even adjust the brightness with Fn and the arrow keys worked.
Then agreed but not recognized as I later. Since the review of Mahp for me was very helpful:

This notebook like this. The display does not reflect and the touchpad is very good. However, I now use a mouse, because I find that when using the keyboard disturbs the touchpad.
In addition, the price of the notebook is very convenient. Good things for less money.
As for the new UEFI BIOS, which is now available on all newer computers, so there is no doubt for anyone who wants to install a Linux as a second Betriebssysystem next Windows 8, has become more complicated. Previously you needed is not much to worry about the BIOS to change the boot sequence except if she was not already set correctly. But now there is to be on with Windows 8 computer shipped from the UEFI BIOS UEFI Secure Boot, an extension. If EDFI Secure Boot is enabled, only one operating system can be started, which is signed with the on the mainboard hinterlegtem key.
This information comes from the E-book Ubuntu 14.04 by Michael Kofler.
And so Microsoft can lock out other operating system beautifully.
