Eee 1101HA with Ubuntu 9.10 and eee-control

I was hoping maybe you could help me installing and running it properly on my Eee 1101HA with Ubuntu 9.10 installed.

I installed it via http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ 's deb and tried to start it but unfortunately it kept saying the daemon wasn't running and the right click on the tray wouldn't do anything. So I tried to run 'sudo eee-control-daemon' on the terminal with no luck. After some research i ran 'sudo eee-control-daemon -V' on the terminal and found it wouldn't even start after all. So I did more research and found my Eee was not supported (as eee-control reported too) and found that I needed to change two lines in /usr/bin/eee-control-daemon changing 'sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness' to 'sys/class/backlight/psblvds/brightness'. After that I started the daemon and it seemed to be running fine until I started eee-control-tray which reported that eee-control-daemon was not running even though right-click was available and would let me access the configurations of the program. Despite that, after all, it appears not to be running (at least the only hotkeys which are working were handled before by Ubuntu) but the sensors seem to work.

Can you help me, please?

Re: Eee 1101HA with Ubuntu 9.10 and eee-control

Well, you "fixed" the first problem. The second is that the kernel module doesn't support the camera in the 1101ha, you can check by doing "cat /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera". It will give you a error like "device not found". What I did to get around this was to add the following lines to /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/EeeControl/models.py

Code:

class EeePc1101HA(EeePc1000HE):
    def __init__(self, action):
        EeePc1000HE.__init__(self, action)
        self.features = "wifi", "bt", "reader", "touchpad"
        self.action_map = {
            0x10: self.action.wifi_toggle,
            0x11: self.action.wifi_toggle,
            0x13: self.action.mute,
            0x14: self.action.vol_down,
            0x15: self.action.vol_up,
        }

below the other class declarations, and changed the MODEL_MAP array to include it, as below:

Code:

 # Map system-product-name to the abstractions
MODEL_MAP = {
    "700": EeePc700,
    "700SE": EeePc700SE,
    "701SD": EeePc700SE,
    "701": EeePc700,
    "900": EeePc900,
    "900SD": EeePc900,
    "900HD": EeePc900,
    "904HD": EeePc904HD,
    "904HA": EeePc901,
    "900A": EeePc900A,
    "900HA": EeePc900A,
    "901": EeePc901,
    "1000": EeePc1000,
    "1000H": EeePc1000,
    "1000HV": EeePc1000HE,
    "1000HD": EeePc1000HD,
    "1000HE": EeePc1000HE,
    "1002HA": EeePc1002HA,
    "1008HA": EeePc1002HA,
    "1005HA": EeePc1002HA,
    "1101HA": EeePc1101HA,
    "702": EeePc700,
    "AUTODETECT": EeePcAutodetect,

I still don't have the brightness or screen switch (fn-f8) working, but that might need some changes in the poulsbo video drivers.

I hope this helps!

Re: Eee 1101HA with Ubuntu 9.10 and eee-control

I'm trying to install the eee-control package and have made all of the above adjustments but am still getting the "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: hotkey-setup".  Is there anything else that needs to be changed for an 1101 HA?

Eh, just tried and got the same error.  When I try to recompile it, I have to install emacs and for whatever reason trying to download or install anything seems to glitch out my display and lock up my system.

hmm... maybe trying to install via compiling made something go screwy. it should have gone... maybe a clean install would help you.

Well, I did a fresh install and when I run the compiled package it runs through like it installs, but doesn't install anything. : /

Leave eee-control, it doesn't work good with 1101ha. I have 1101ha and had a lot of problems with it [and it doesnt support overclocking either]. So I've change it to eeepc-tray. runs awesome smile

p.s.
you will need http://www.statux.org/ repository for it.
