	Hello,

  I've tested your new image, and things are better on my eeepc 1002HA :

- the eeepc-laptop loads correct, thanks to osi_acpi=Linux kernel option

- the keyboard layout parameters from my specific kernel cmd line are
now taken in account, perhaps you update your debian-live tools ?

- I've noted that you updated the kernel to 2.6.32, and that with that,
I always has access to consoles, whereas using my own Squeeze setup +
2.6.32 leads me to be hit by a bug like 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509271, don't having
access to virtual consoles anymore once Xorg started ! I think main
difference is that your system doesn't use KMS, and would try mine
without KMS when I'll find how to enable/disable KMS from the kernel
cmd line.

- more important, I found that with your system, using 'acpi_listen', I
get events with the 2 special keys which remain silent on my system :
Fn-F7 (blank screen icon) gives :
ASUS010:00 00000016 0000001
and my specific SHE key gives :
ASUS010:00 00000039 0000001

  I don't understand which can do the difference, but your
eeepc live systeme is definitely interesting !! :-)


	Fred.
