[Debian-eeepc-devel] Debian Squeeze/Sid on a eeepc 1002HA

[Frédéric Boiteux]

	Hello,

  I've tried to install a Debian Squeeze (and some packages from Sid,
  as eeepc-acpi-scripts) on an Asus Eeepc 1002HA, and found some
  problems about managing events from my eeepc : here is a list of
  problems I encounter :

* when I boot with an external monitor plugged, with KMS enabled and no
  Xorg.conf, I get the gdm screen on both screen at 640x480 : is it
  possible to let it use specific best resolution from each screen, as
  can do 'xrandr --output XXX --auto ' ?


* I wanted to correct this with the 'toggle-videomode' button (Fn-F8 on
  my keyboard, you can see one here :
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/3063690282_7fdbb66bf0_o.jpg) : the
button does nothing, whereas it was working (at least some months ago)
on the Lenny system) :-(
  So I tried each Fn-F* special keys, and I'm puzzled : I've tried to
  debug with acpid, but it seems acpid isn't used anymore !?
  Here is results of my tests :
  - SH Engine (up of Fn-F1/F2) : does nothing, not detected by acpid
  - Fn-F1 (sleep) : does suspend, ok
  - Fn-F2 (wlan) : toggle rfkill, ok
  - Fn-F4 (no symbol written on keyboard) : button/zoom ZOOM detected
    by acpid , no action
  - Fn-F5 and Fn-F6 (brightness down/up) : ok
  - Fn-F7 (blank screen) : does nothing, not detected by acpid, whereas
    I was using it on my Lenny system !
  - Fn-F8 (toggle video) : does nothing, but detected by acpid :
    acpid: received input layer event "video/switchmode VMOD 00000080 00000000"
    acpid: 0 total rules matched
    acpid: completed input layer event "video/switchmode VMOD 00000080 00000000"
  - Fn-F9 (?) : does nothing detected by acpid as PROG1, ok.
  - Fn-F10, F11 & F12 (Sound mute, down, up) : ok.

  I wonder how to get Fn-F7, Fn-F8 and perhaps SH-Engine keys working ?


* The sound control keys don't act on volume output by headphones ; I
looked at /usr/share/doc/eeepc-acpi-scripts/README.Debian, talking
about VOLUME_LABEL and HEADPHONE_LABEL, but didn't found them in /etc/default /eeepc-acpi-scripts.


  If you have some hints about my problems, you're welcome !

	Thanks,
