Aloha,

I did indeed try 11.1B4 on the hardware (eeePC701-4G).  ACPI doesnt
seem to be working, power management complains about it.  As for the
events, that is needed to be able to utilise the hardware buttons to
access volume/brightness/other functions via the keyboard.  It also
enables the OnScreenDisplay notifications for the button presses.

Regards,

Andy
