Hi,

I' just installed 11.2 on my 64GB SSD eeepc 900 series. All seems to work fine out of the box, except the Fn keys.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/SuSEee:/EeePC-Ext-Projects/o...

seems to be the most recent repo.

Would it be allright to use the corresponding pkgs from there?

tia,

Hi I packaged up the latest version of eee-control 0.9.4 here; http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=eee-control&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.2

You just need to manually configure and start the daemon via YaST or the CLI with chkconfig and rceee-controld. Works fine on 11.2 11.3M7 and SLED11 SP1 on my ASUS eeePC 1000HA

Although I see 0.9.6 is now available http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/

thnx for this fine answer.. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please open a bug report (if not already fixed in factory), this should work, eeepc detected automagically and packages installed, daemons running, everything.

attach the output of /usr/sbin/hwinfo and add me to the CC list.

Does this also go for 11.2, or only 11.3 M7? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.

I have not checked the package , but some suggestions:

a) Supplements: modalias(acpi*:ASUS010:*) in the spec file

b) avoid building the module on distributions that have in-kernel eeepc_laptop module . c) You can also implement a trick in %post to make the daemon start automatically if the user is indeed running the mentioned laptop.

Cheers. Hi Well I would be happy to spend some to maintain it from a packaging

Yast2 > runleveleditor > eee-controld shows: yes.

.. so it works as should...

I thought, as it was showing up in the recently in stalled menu, but it did not start: activating it in the runlevel editor called upon /etc/init.d/dbus start, and /etc/init.d/dbus eee-controld start.... but this still was not enough to start it up...

The situation with kernel-modules and Fn-Key-Support has changed from openSUSE versio to openSUSE version.

With 11.2 my EEEPC 900a works out of the box, except the Fn_keys for screen switching.

If you have updated from an earlier openSUSE version make sure you remove all additional kernel modules and workarounds neccessay to make the older openSUE version work. Else you cannot be sure all the real openSUSE 11.2 stuff is used.

Herbert

No, updates went wrong at the start with the 'black screen affaires' beginning off 11.2.. I completely ignored eeepc until yesterday.... So now i performed a network install... 11.2 new on a newly formatted ssd. All went right except nwmgr, had to switch to ifup during connection test, but that is known i guess. I did not try all buttons yet, i only noticed that my volume buttons did not work..... (xp is also on the drive, and takes a *lot* of time updating...need exel2007 for programming my studer xtender..)

OTB works fine, I think it just complements and adds some easy user configuration.

Ok, looks like a GNOME/GTK app, bug report, (again if needed) against GNOME apps and gcc to me, remember the output of hwinfo so we can make the installation to pull the package when that hardware is found.

Yes,(Ideally into factory) I can help you reviewing the package, but as I have no eeepc nor use gnome I cannot help testing, ohh. and someone else has to commit into long term mainteniance of it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, it's not, atleast for my EEEPC 900A. eee-control depends on a special kernel module (eeepc-acpi) made by asus. Since openSUSE 11.2 the kernel has is own kernel module (eeepc_laptop) for this, which does the job. All these backports of eee-control and eeepc-acpi origin from pre openSUSE 11.2 time and shouldn't be used for openSUSE 11.2 and above. Best they would be purged from the Build Service, because the more harm than help.

The situation may be different for newer EEEPC models, but in this case newer kernel versions will help. Most of the newer EEEPC will start work fine with openSUSE 11.3.

I can confirm that on the 900 and 1005 running a default install of 11.2 using the 2.6.31 kernel, all Fn keys work (in KDE4) without needing to install eee-control I've installed 11.2 on multiple EEEPCs (mostly 1005s) with the exact same results... all Fn keys work as they should/as expected. This is also tested in 11.3M7 (kernel 2.6.34) on an 1005HA-M and it works fine there.

Like I said, it complements the laptop_eeepc kernel module, the package I built doesn't even build the old kernel module it's just a python application.
