Ubuntu package for EeePC701 configuration

Hi,

I have created an Ubuntu package called eeepc-701-config which contains configuration files and scripts for Eee PC 701. It is based on the instructions from

http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_ … _perfectly

Prerequisite:
- Custom Linux Kernel from array.org (or you may build your own eeepc-acpi and madwifi module from source code. Read from the wiki above for further instructions)
- http://www.array.org/ubuntu/setup.html

Features
- Make EeePC shut down properly
- Enabling processor scaling
- Wifi Hotkeys
- Audio after suspend/resume
- Gnome tuning

All the features above except "Gnome tuning" will be done automatically after the package installation. To tune your Gnome environment for Eee PC , you need to run the following command in your user account:

/usr/share/eeepc-config/gnome-tweak.sh

Source code :

https://code.launchpad.net/~benlau/ubuntu-eeepc-config/trunk

Installation (From Source)

bzr branch lp:~benlau/ubuntu-eeepc-config/trunk eeepc-config
cd eeepc-config
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

Installation from Ubuntu PPA

add lines below into source list.

then

apt-get install eeepc-701-config

Tweak Gnome , run :

/usr/share/eeepc-config/gnome-tweak.sh

Although the configuration of EeePC701 and 900 should be similar , eeepc-701-config may not work for EeePC 900. It should create another package (eeepc-900-config) for the job. However, I only have a EeePC701 so I can not test the work. So if you are interested to contribute , please join the ubuntu-eeepc-config project at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-eeepc-config

Hope that it is useful.

Finally , I would like to thank for anyone who has contributed the wiki and kernel/module.

Re: Ubuntu package for EeePC701 configuration

perfect timing. I finally settled on Ubuntu and gave the Eee PC to my girlfriend for her birthday on friday, the shut down issue was the one thing I was still looking to fix.

thnx for your efforts.
