Re: Arch on Eee PC

I have uploaded PKGBUILD's and tarballs for 2.6.23-ARCH kernel modules. This includes the atl2 ethernet module, the madwifi wireless modules, the acpi module and the video camera module. members.shaw.ca/dkite

Available also is a PKGBUILD and package for acpi routines. These include the /etc/acpi routines called by acpid, and asusosd, a daemon that you run as user that pops up the various indicator thingy's when you adjust volume or brightness.

The acpi scripts work for the power button, wlan on and off (doesn't reconnect however), sleep when the lid is closed. I haven't done the internal/external monitor stuff yet. I started with the asus scripts and changed some things to fit the arch setup.

Some instructions are on the site. Let me know if there are any issues.

Nice. Thank you for your time and effort. Will try it out and see how it goes.

UPDATE: I've tried both eeemodules & acpid_eee PKGBUILD it on my Eee PC with kernel 2.6.23-ARCH and I'm glad to say that everything works flawlessly.

Wifi, suspend, power button and even webcam works! I'm so glad. The Wifi on-off button works, as well as suspend using the hot key and suspend when the lid is closed (and it seems that the suspend/wake up feels faster using the patched kernel than on the original Eee kernel it self! ). Also the asusosd graphic indicators works fine on GNOME (just placing it in GNOME's Sessions and you're set).

Now my Eee PC is fully functional with Arch Linux! Thank you dkite, you're my hero.

UPDATE2: acpid_eee won't build correctly if Xorg is not installed. It will built but some parts, such as asusosd file, won't compile. Perhaps you should add it in as dependency?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

filoktetes, is the p4-clockmod in the kernel26eee you put into community? Because I can't modprobe it using your kernel, but I can on the ordinary Arch one. Otherwise, everything so far seems to be working well -- the boot is lightning fast.

No, it seems I managed to leave it out... I'll include it in the next build. I'll probably compile it in, so you'll not need to modprobe it.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Hm... guys, how do you get wireless to work again after suspend? I've experienced the problem with both NetworkManager and Wicd, so I think the problem is with either the wireless driver/module or the acpi one (but I might be wrong here...).

Did anyone else also have this problem? How do you fix it? I've tried restarting hal daemon, wicd daemon, all to no avail.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I'm using the standard kde KLaptop to suspend and wlassistant for wireless. I just tried suspending (for the first time, actually). Wireless reconnects at once for me (I had quit wlassistant, so the driver seems to "remember" the connection. I only needed to touch the brightness controll to get the lcd on.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Thank you filoktetes, I'll try wlassistant and see if it's works for me too (I currently use Wicd).

UPDATE: Hm... after reading out from dmesg it seems that the problem is with the madwifi and hal. I've attached the dmesg's output, can anyone please confirm if my suspicion is correct?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I notice there is a folder /opt/kde/share/autostart containing .desktop files for applications that will brought up on startup. I could put an asusosd.desktop there, and it will work for kde.

Is there something similar for gnome?

I will include a dependency to libx11 in the acpid_eee PKGBUILD

Should I put the pkgbuilds up on AUR? What do you think?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Hm... guys, how do you get wireless to work again after suspend? I've experienced the problem with both NetworkManager and Wicd, so I think the problem is with either the wireless driver/module or the acpi one (but I might be wrong here...).

Did anyone else also have this problem? How do you fix it? I've tried restarting hal daemon, wicd daemon, all to no avail.

zodmaner: are you using my acpid_eee scripts? I found an issue with lid closed sleep mode. It shuts down fine, but when it comes back on, wifi doesn't work. I noticed that the acpid daemon wasn't running (wasn't getting any responses from any button). I restarted the daemon and buttons started responding again.

If I then shut off, turn on the wlan, the device was created properly and I could connect.

There is a line in the suspend2ram.sh script (which I took from the asus code release)

(sleep 12;killall -SIGALRM acpid )&

Let me comment out that line and test...

Nope. Lights are all on, but the display is black.

Back to the drawing board. I wonder if their acpid daemon is hacked in some way.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

killall -SIGALRM acpid

ends up in acpid calling

exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

so yes it shuts it down. This is the arch acpid.

I'm going to dig up the xandros code from asus to see if they do differently.

# asus+ : signal the acpid to unlock a flag from suspend.

is the comment in the script.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Another issue I have is if I do a shutdown with the power button, it does a tidy shutdown of kde which takes a bit of time. If I close the lid before it is done, it calls the suspend2ram, saving the shutdown state. If I hit the powerbutton to start back up, it starts up the shutdown process and turns off.

I'd say that is a bug.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Wondering if any of the users in this thread are using a Live flash drive for their arch boot?

This eliminates any stresses on the internal flash device by running in ram from the usb flash device.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

zodmaner: are you using my acpid_eee scripts?

Yep. I also tried using wlassistant as filoktetes suggested, but unfortunately that didn't work either. So I think the problem is with the acpid. I may try filoktetes's kernel again to see if it also had this problem.

I notice there is a folder /opt/kde/share/autostart containing .desktop files for applications that will brought up on startup. I could put an asusosd.desktop there, and it will work for kde.

there something similar for gnome?

There should be something similar, but I'm not sure...  Maybe I'll ask around on the irc.

Should I put the pkgbuilds up on AUR? What do you think?

Absolutely. Aside from the mentioned issues, everything works fine, so I don't see why you shouldn't put it on AUR. Just add comments to let people known the current issues (no wifi after resume from suspend, etc.) and everything should be fine.

Also dkite, may I ask what are you using to connect wireless?

Thank you for taking your time to look into this problem dkite, filoktetes. You guys are the best. If you guys need any help with testing any packages for Eee, then don't hesitant to ask.

wlassistant.

Try restarting acpid after a suspend, then switching the wifi off then on with the hotkey.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Try restarting acpid after a suspend, then switching the wifi off then on with the hotkey.

Hey, it works! Thank you dkite. Now where do I put the script to execute the restart command after resume? Also, it seems I only need to do that first time I suspend because after that wireless works every time, until I restart or shutdown that is (I use Wicd, BTW).

But there's a strange issue because although wireless is working after restart acpid & switch wifi on/off, sometimes Wicd will become unresponsive and shows no connection even though wifi is connected. I'm not sure this is a problem with Wicd or something else.

UPDATE: The trick also works with NetworkManager, so I guess it is a problem with acpid after all.

Also, I've just tried the webcam, which fails to work with both ucview and cheese (yes, I've tried echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera).

Another thing, when I resume back from suspend. asusosd is still running, but consume 100 % CPU and doesn't respond. I have to kill it and restart it for the indicators to work again.

UPDATE2: It seems that the change screen brightness hot key stop functioning after resume and restart acpid (everything else seems to work fine). The only solution is to restart the machine.

UPDATE3: Webcam now works (with ucview) after I change my video driver from xf86-video-intel to xf86-video-i810.

Thanks for the updates. I don't have time this evening to work on it, so tomorrow. I'm in the (very long) process of downloading the huge zip with the acpid and other sources from asus.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Hi,

I just installed the driver kit from dkit, and it seems to work fine.

But am I the only one who get errors when he tries to build ucview or luvcview ?
The first as a compile error (a function is commented in ucview.c, I had to uncomment it), then I get a link error one (missing symbol ucil_theoria_combine_av, or something like that).
The second has a lot of compile errors.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I figured out the coming off sleep wlan problem. In /etc/acpi/wlan.sh, the radio has to be turned on first before modprobing ath_pci. After the modproce pciehp line,

sleep 4
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/wlan
sleep 4
load_modules

This fixed it so that I could connect wirelessly after sleep. The tarball will be updated later today.

The acpid daemon killing isn't solved. I'm trying to dl the 1.7 g code dump from asus, having problems getting a valid zip file. It is taking forever and the dl is failing regularly. Does anyone have the acpid .deb from that file?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I installed Arch using the Arch CD, and didn't use filoktetes image, or dkite's packages (mostly because I like having a slimmed down kernel). I have filoktetes kernel installed.

I can connect wirelessly after sleep without doing any tinkering whatsoever, but yes, none of hotkeys work. I don't have asusosd running ever, so I never get the notifications, but it all works.

Also, whenever I boot, my brightness is at the maximum level, so I always have to tone it down. Awkwardly, it tones down to like my previous setting or maybe just a big jump down after one Fn brightness down.

And when I wake up out of sleep, my brightness is at maximum again, but this time, I can't Fn down.

Also, Gnome Power Manager thinks my battery is broken, and when i right click it, it shows two batteries. What does that even mean?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

The screen brightness issue happened to me when I tried to use the xf86-video-intel as opposed to the  xf86-video-i810 video driver.

The kde power daemon is also borked. It alerts me every time the percentage drops by 10's.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Well, I am using the xf86-video-intel driver, as I installed mostly using the Arch Wiki. How did you set up your xorg.conf for the xf86-video-i810 driver? Obviously using the one on the Arch Wiki with it doesn't work. Did you just use hwd -xa?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

pacman -S xf86-video-i810

Then in /etc/X11/xorg.conf look for the Device section, Driver. Your's will say something intel, replace that with i810.

Make sure you back up your xorg.conf before editing just in case something breaks.

Using this xorg.conf, I was only able to see a fraction of my screen, and I could scroll around in it by moving my cursor to the edges. Everything, such as my fonts and menus, were a little blurry. I scanned the xorg.conf, and found this line, "Virtual 1680 1680". I changed it to "Virtual 800 480", naturally (only the last one, because I know it's going to be using a depth of 24).

So, I tried it again, but this time, strangely, I found my wallpaper cut off at the sides. I moved my cursor to the left and right, and yes, my screen was scrolling left and right, just a few centimeters this time instead of around a virtual display four times its size. I looked at my fonts and realized they were blurry; I looked at my gmrun and realized it was a lot longer than I remembered. So, naturally, I think my image is getting stretched out horizontally.

So I tried adding 'Modes "800x480"' below "Virtual 840 480". I got the same thing.

I tried Modes "800x480" by itself, deleting the "Virtual 840 480", this time. That time, it almost worked. There was no scrolling; I could see my entire wallpaper. However, my fonts and programs were still stretched out and blurry like before. Really blurry!

Is there anything I'm missing?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I've also run into the same issues when using xf86-video-i810. From Xorg.log it seems that i810 driver detects Eee resolution to be 640x480 (which is obviously wrong). I've no idea how to override that, though.

Strange that Ubuntu on Eee also use i810 driver but doesn't have this issue (it detects & set resolution to 800x480 just fine)..
