This has been quite successful. A lot of things work out of the box or with minimal tweaking. There are two things that don't work for me and where I am out of knowledge and/or google juice to fix them. Maybe someone has an idea or a pointer for me there. The first issue I have is the resume: The machine suspends fine but doesn't resume successfully. The screen stays black on resume. It seems that it is still doing something as pushing the power button after a failed resume suspends the machine again (suspends as in the power led starts blinking again). There is an entry in the fdi suspend-quirks database for the 701 which activates the quirks for s3_bios and dpms_on and the eee seems to suspend fine for others running other distributions or even f8 (eeedora). I have tried some other quirks and also pm-suspend without any quirks but the result is always the same. The second issue is how to map some of the additional keys to do anything useful. The asus patch for the eee is included in the fedora kernel rpm so there seems to be no need for a patched acpi_asus.ko. Screen-brightness control works (fn + f3/f4) and suspend (fn + f1) work and according to the wiki page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EeePc the others should do at least something too (no idea what 'needs gconf tweaks' refers to). Pushing e.g. the mute-button does not generate any dmesg output and nothing in xev either. Any hints are appreciated. -- sven === jabber/xmpp: sven at lankes.net From fabrice at bellet.info Mon Apr 21 10:20:34 2008 From: fabrice at bellet.info (Fabrice Bellet) Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:20:34 +0200 Subject: f9 on the Asus EEE PC (resume and additional keys) In-Reply-To: <20080419214440.GA6230@killefiz> References: <20080419214440.GA6230@killefiz> Message-ID: <20080421102034.GA3937@bellet.info> Hi, On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 11:44:40PM +0200, Sven Lankes wrote: > Hi, > > I have installed Fedora 9 rc on an Asus EEE 701.

You should try to rewrite a value in /proc/acpi/asus/brn _after_ wakeup. That should reset LCD brightness to a sane value. The part of my acpi script (based on eeedora), that works for me with "lid" events looks like that : if [ "${acpi}" == "lid" ]; then wifi_off su username -c "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command --lock" pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-s3-bios sleep 10 su username -c "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command --poke" wifi_on brn=` /proc/acpi/asus/brn note='resume' fi -- fabrice From sl at killefiz.de Mon Apr 21 10:19:24 2008 From: sl at killefiz.de (Sven Lankes) Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:19:24 +0200 Subject: f9 on the Asus EEE PC (resume and additional keys) In-Reply-To: <20080421102034.GA3937@bellet.info> References: <20080419214440.GA6230@killefiz> <20080421102034.GA3937@bellet.info> Message-ID: <20080421101924.GC3152@killefiz> On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 12:20:34PM +0200, Fabrice Bellet wrote: >> The machine suspends fine but doesn't resume successfully.

I still need to finish and post my eeepc-acpi module that generates key-events for HAL. I also have the necessary fdi files so things like rfkill, and volume just work with gnome.

I'm slowly starting to understand how acpi under linux actually works especially with the eee-pc. The F9-Kernel contains a module called eeepc which - when loaded - generates acpi-events for the Fn + Fx-keys. While those events work fine the stock module doesn't contain the rest of the asus-laptop module functionality - most important it doesn't offer /proc/acpi/asus so it's not possible to automagically reset the backlight on resume. Just loading the f9 asus-laptop module fails (No such device). Writing directly to /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness doesn't seem to be supported either on eee (writing to it fails with "Invalid argument" and reading yields "not supported"). So currently using the stock f9 modules is not sufficient to use all possible functionality (unless someone else has an idea on how to set the backlight level). I'm back to using the eeepc-acpi module taken from debian which gives me acpi events for keypresses and /proc/acpi/asus support. -- sven === jabber/xmpp: sven at lankes.net From mricheng at hotmail.com Wed Apr 23 04:00:54 2008 From: mricheng at hotmail.com (Eason Mai) Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:00:54 +0000 Subject: Ipw2200 problem in Fedora 8 Message-ID: Hi all, I use Fedora 8 under my laptop Thinkpad x40, kernel vesion: 2.6.24.4-64.fc8.
