Hello everybody, I just got a shiny new Asus EEE 900. I kept xandros for few days (it was actually much better than I expected), then performed a full debian installation using the installer linked on the wiki. I used the internal 4gb ssd for / and the additional 16gb for /home. The installation went fine and was totally painless. These are the problems I noticed with the installed system:
- on logon, message "You battery is very low or could be damaged"; the battery is obviously fine, and gnome-power-manager correctly reports its status. - osd: I installed aosd-cat and enabled it in the scripts; it kind of works, but writes "volume" instead of "volume +" and similar; the original asus osd is IMHO much nicer, it is available here http://eee-osd.googlecode.com/ any chance of getting it in debian? - webcam: works (following instructions on the wiki, a new user would probably be scared); xandros webcam program is IMHO much nicer than luvcview, but I forgot its name :) - audio: sound card is detected but no sound can be heard; I read in prevoius posts the 2.6.25 kernel in sid should fix it but haven't tried yet. - sometimes the eee locks on shutdown; I added "rmmod snd_hda_intel" to halt script and it hasn't happened since - xorg ships with DRI disabled; adding Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "dbe" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection at the bottom of xorg.conf makes glxgears much happier. I still have to try compiz. - suspend to ram: works, but brightness is stuck at max on resume - suspend to disk: works (I have a 1gb swap partition on the 16gb ssd); resume is very fast, but suspend is quite slow In both cases (s2ram and s2disk) the wireless doesn't work on resume. Disabling and re-enabling it does the trick, but it's annoying. All in all, debian works great and was really easy to install: you've done great work guys!
