If you add the pciehp parameters to menu.lst wifi toggle works. Otherwise wifi will turn off and on, butt NetworkManager won`t find any networks and in dmesg you will see a "rt2860 initialization error".

The tray icon did more than just open the settings GUI. It showed the actual cpu mode and on a click it showed useful information.

Except the tray-icon issue, do you have other problems?

I've just tested your scripts on my 1000H on kernel 2.6.29.1-3e and they work fine. Only key #4 doesn't, but I suppose that's expected, isn't it? I do actually prefer to start with ondemand, but that's achievable through the std frequency applet, it appears.

And the kernel works fine, too. Nice job! 

I've tested it on my 1000HE with kernel 2.6.29-3e and everything works fine, except the 4th hotkey :S

I've configured so that when I press it it should open gnome-terminal (on /etc/acpi/eeepc/settings), but it only opens it when I have a terminal already open :S

When I put the command that you putted (sudo /etc/acpi/eeepc/eeepc-actions.sh foo bar 0000001d), it opens everywhere...



Anyway, it would be nice to have a GUI option to set the hotkeys

And another question: what about fn+F3. fn+F4, fn+SPACEBAR? and could it be possible to put notification for the brightness up/down?


Thanks for the script!


edit: when I press fn+F1 nothing happens :S

I had the same problem with the fourth hotkey on 1000h. I replaced all $ond_icon, $perf_icon and $pow_icon in eeepc-cpufreq-control.sh by the complete path and it works, don't know why the variable are not recognised.

Thank you emulrato. The scripts works fine for me!

One question: When I turn off the built-in wireless, the USB-Wireles that I sometimes use turns off too.

Is there any command or patch to be posible turn-off the built in wireless but with an external USB wifi running? Two wireless adaptors are too much for the battery life... And sometimes I need to plug in an external card.

Someone haves any idea?

Initially 0.9.4 was hanging ad the modprobe command, so I decided to clean it all up and reinstall.

Now lsmod | grep asus_eee returns
asus_eee   5028 1
sudo modprobe asus_eee still hangs complaining that: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.backup, it will be ignored in a future release."
and cat /proc/eee says no such file or directory.

BUT... pressing #4 now shows a cpufreq variation OSD

Edit: At every press the Ondemand OSD always comes up. Anyway, I can change freq by the toolbar std applet, no big deal.

I'm still wondering what's happening.

@ quierounasus

Maybe your external wifi card uses the same driver as your internal one. Does it work if you disable your internal wifi card and then plug in your external one?

@ lanzen

The cpu frequency script needs the asus_eee module, so if it doesn`t work correctly the script won`t work, too. Which kernel are you using? And did you install the asus_eee DKMS module? Maybe you should try reinstalling it.

I have re-installed the asus-eee-dkms package. This time I picked the one il the Jaunty_Eeeasy-Scripts dir. The previous one was from fewt's repos. I thought they were the very same package, isn't it so? Anyway, I rebooted and nothing has changed.

Edit:  Now cat /proc/eee finds a directory.

That is not a complain That is warning about a configuration file change of blacklist to blacklist.conf. Nothing to do with this modprobe though.

Yeah, of course. It's my residual english humour

No, this DKMS package is a different one. Azanutta found it, but we don`t know who actually made it :S If I understand you correctly, /proc/eee/ is now there and the cpu frequency script does its job?

@ ahbart
I took the kernel version 2.6.29.1 from kernel.org, used the .config of the 2.6.28-11-generic kernel and enabled the staging drivers (I removed also some unneded stuff like the mac-support, but that is not important).

It's really bizarre! Everything works fine now, but that key seems to have its own life!  I've found out that if I press normally, the issue will show, but I apply a light and quick pressure sometimes, seldom, it works as expected. Watching live the event in syslog show it, too. Twice when it does it, once when it works. So, it could well be a (new) hardware problem, but others have noticed this too. It'd be interesting to see what other 1000Hers have to say about key #4.

One more thing about the 29-e3 kernel. Wifi seems to disconnect with no notice especially if no network exchange has been going on for some time. Is this known and/or happens to others? When this happens a click on the ssid name in the wifi list gets it on again, no damage done.
