ASUS 1018P Netbook Fn Hot Keys

Last year ASUS replaced my eeepc 1018P netbook that I had Arch installed on, under warranty.  It has sat, unused, until the last couple of weeks when I decided to install Arch on it again. Using my notes and posts to this forum I was expecting the install to go rather smoothly. The only thing I changed from my previous install was that I installed LXDE instead of Openbox as a standalone WM. My previous install had the Fn hot keys working.

Now, the following hot keys are not working:

Fn+F3 (toggle touchpad)
Fn+F10, F11, F12 (volume control)

Could this be something with the 3.x kernel or did I just miss something during my setup.

I installed acpi-eeepc-generic from the AUR and configured it as from my previous notes.

Any help appreciated.

Hi
How to set up yout hotkeys:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ACPI_hotkeys

For touchpad you can use my script (modify it accordingly https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … ics#xinput):

#!/bin/bash


if
xinput --list-props "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" | grep "Synaptics Off" | grep 1
then
xinput --set-prop 'ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad' 'Synaptics Off' 0
else
xinput --set-prop 'ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad' 'Synaptics Off' 1
fi

Thanks. I'll look at this tonight. Is this in addition to or in place of the  acpi-eeepc-generic package in AUR?

I'm planning on doing a clean install.

Well, i have never used acpi-eeepc-generic package but i think there souldn't be any problem. Please report on issue.

I'll look at jupiter, thanks.  I've been distro hopping and right now I have Debian installed right now. If I go back to Arch I'll give it a try.
