As I haven't found it anywhere else, I'll drop a little note here.
To get the hotkeys working under BT4 on a EeePC 701, just install the latest eeepc-acpi-utilities deb from Browse EeePC ACPI...

I'm glad it helps :)

just install BT3 on the sdhc and boot from there.
if you're going to use my module, be aware that the internal ssd will be sda and the sdhc will be sdb, so modify your syslinux.cfg accordingly.

The script runs inside a console enviroment and not in an X11 one, so you cannot use any X11 commands: they'll fail miserably because there's no $DISPLAY set.
In order to communicate to kde...

use my script directly and change the "/sbin/shutdown -h now "Lid closed"" line.
it's much simpler, isn't it?

it's a well known problem: you've to rmmod (or modprobe -r) snd-hda-intel in your rc.local_shutdown (next time try to do a little research, ok? ;-) )
I didn't create a rc.local_shutdown in my module...

when the lid is closed it shut down the eee. there is no way to suspend BT3: like slackware 12.0, the stock kernel does not have CONFIG_PMU_SUSPEND enabled.
Here's the relevant content of...

with or without my module?
if you run a plain BT3 installation you'll wireless will be always on (or, well, always off) and the cpu stuck at 900MHz, not a good start from a power save perspective ;-)

at best it will enable the acpi support but, frankly, I'm not too sure about it :-P

I'm not using a real install so I don't have to do any changes on the lilo.conf.
My guess is that you forgot to setup your lilo.conf correctly: once you append the libata configuration switch your /...

The eeePC 701 works fine. All the 70x model should ship with an atheros chipset and it's well supported by BT3. The 90x family should have a realtek but, sincerely, I don't know its status (I think...

thanks to you for trying out the module :)

as suggested by micked the lzm2dir will do the trick, another option would be to mirror my /sources folder and run the main SlackBuild file, you'll end up with the lzm in /tmp and all the associated...

There're some quirks with libata, you've to add a booting option in order to get full speed, see: http//forums.remote-exploit.org/showpost.php?p=101315&postcount=10

This is not the grammar error you're looking for.
/me waves his hands in Jedi style

I've added an /extras folder with some useful files like rc.local* and syslinux.cfg: http://sid77.slackware.it/bt3/repo/extras/
I've also updated the powerbtn.sh acpi action and rebuilt the module:...

thanks :)


edit your syslinux.cfg and add combined_mode=libata at the end of the APPEND section of your choice, then boot the modified voice.
as the configuration file is locate at...

BT3 ships with firefox 2.0.0.10 and flash plugin working and installed into /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10/plugins
As soon as you update it with slapt-get or any other tool, you'll lost it. The solution...

thanks for trying it out, micked :)

this is strange: I'm just using the file provided by bt3 xorg autoconf with the support for synaptics drivers added by me.
by the way, did you also use the provided rc.modules? synaptics drivers are...

Received this pm today:

Question: Does this lzm fix the battery issue?
Answer: No it doesn't as it's not a real issue ;-) the problem relies on the application which polls the acpi stats and...

thanks for the link ;-)
I'll edit the original post once I get the needed post count

Hi all!
This is not a proper bug or fix, it's more an enhancement but I think this category would suit as well :)

The problem: BT3 runs on the eeePC but hardware support is far from perfect. No...
