Ok, another question. I tried to install ighea's module (9-5), and the installer told me to change the handler for in anything to handler_eee.sh

Only thing is, I don't find this script. where's it supposed to be?

First acpi-eee is not a module but a pack of acpi-scripts and also the asusosd app. Secondly you are supposed to do something for /etc/acpi/events/anything -file. Best way is to change the handler.sh specified in it to anything else so that it will never be run and break things.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

right. I supposed the handler_eee.sh script was supposed to be installed too.

Do you still need an asus_acpi module, though, to use the webcam and other acpi functions?

Yes, easiest way to get things working is using kernel-eee, if possible. The handler_eee.sh is just a possible name for the event action in /etc/acpi/event/anything file. The point is just to get the /etc/acpi/handler.sh not to be run, ever.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Since I was confused by the Wiki on installing Arch on the EEE PC, I made this little document for myself, if I need to reinstall it. It's basically a short howto, instead of the immensive wiki page, mainly for my own use. But just in case it might be helpful to somebody, here it is:

We are going to use the 2008.04-rc FTP install image, because this image has built in ethernet support.

-Delete all partitions on USB stick. I used Gparted to do this.
-Write the image file to the USB stick using this command:

sudo dd if=/path/to/image.img of=/dev/sdb

-Boot your EEE with your USB stick plugged in, press ESC several times during the splash screen and you will get a menu. Choose to boot from your removable device.
-During install, pay attention to these things:
    -Format disk as ext2, no swap.
    -You need to install everything from BASE, DEVEL + the wireless_tools from SUPPORT.
    -Add the 'noatime' option to the /etc/fstab option for your partition.
    -Don't choose to keep packages in cache, you need all the free space you can get.
-After installation, reboot into your fresh Archlinux install and plug in your ethernet cable.
-Update your system.

pacman -Syu

-Add the eee repo to your /etc/pacman.conf.

[eee]
Server = http://code.toofishes.net/packages/eee

-Install packages from the eee repo.

pacman -Sy kernel-eee linux-uvc-eee-svn luvcview madwifi-eee-svn eeepc-linux

-Change your /boot/grub/menu.lst, so that it looks like this:

#  Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux EEE kernel
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuzeee root=/dev/sda1 ro

-Reboot system to get into your new kernel.
-Get the latest acpi-eee package from http://koti.kapsi.fi/~ighea/eee/acpi-eee/, makepkg -s in the folder and pacman -U to install the package.
-Install necessary packages.

pacman -Sy synaptics xf86-video-intel xorg

-Use this xorg.conf.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

argh. Tempted to just install Mandriva and be done with it smile but I like the way Arch works (scripts & package manager).

Assume I prefer to keep the stock kernel, is it possible to get osd, fn keys, webcam and microfone to work? I already have wifi. Apparently, just installing your scripts only changed the behaviour of the 'on/off' button (I managed to get my box to suspend).

I find it dangerous to be dependent on 3rd party modules, kernels,...

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Added the boot logo too, according to the instructions in the wiki... Give me my small piece of bling ;P

New kernel doesn't seem to be working properly though. I got no errors during compile, but now it hang either when enterering the Slim DM, slightly before that with a real kernel panic, or sometimes just fails to startx xfce4, and keeps throwing me out to the DM. Many of these times I get the error

init[1]: segfault at 10102 ip 00010102 sp bfc6f2bc error 4 in init[8048000+7000]

Also, the logo isn't working. Any idea what might be causing this? I might try to do a pacman -Sy kernel-eee to sync the old kernel back, then recompile, but I need to head to work now.


I made the following changes to the kernelconfig and PKGBUILD. I don't have time to upload the files right now, I'll see if I can get it done later today.

Set CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y and set =n/commented out CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM to make the kernel compatible with wine. HOWEVER, I just recalled that I might have chosen CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G too during compile (it keeps asking about a lot of the options that were commented out). Could this conflict with HIGHMEM4G=y? I think I was forced to choose one of the VMSPLIT option though.

Made the same changes to usb_serial as blixa above, but commented out all modules except USB_SERIAL, USB_SERIAL_GENERIC,
USB_SERIAL_SAFE, and USB_SERIAL_OPTION.


I added the logo as per the instructions at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … ch_logo.21, adding the PKGBUILD lines right after all the other patches applied. Seemed to check out alright with all the md5sums and everything at compile.

If I do as Blixa and don't edit the name of the kernel or anything, I shouldn't need to edit grub to boot with the new kernel, right?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Regarding Kevin89's installing archlinux synapsis:

Don't you need to install Sy kernel-eee  madwifi-eee-svn in order to get any sort of network capabilities?  Or has something changed with the stock arch kernel.  I am thinking of reinstalling on my eee because it's kind of messed and I don't really feel like going back and undoing four hundred things but I am feeling lazy and have slow and unreliable satellite internet at home and power only when the sun shines so I have been putting it off...

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I think I forgot CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y (without 4G)! Gonna try compiling again... also do you need anything apart from the info in the Wiki under http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … ch_logo.21 to make the logo show up? Grub framebuffer commands?


EDIT: Nope! Same kind of errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone knows which drivers are needed to activate NTFS R/W support I would be grateful, unless they're activated in this kernel to begin with! I just saw some NTFS_FS drivers that were deactived, which made me wonder.

Yes. On 900, the touchpad is recognized as "imPS/2 generic wheel mouse" by kernel driver, and X Synaptics driver fails to be loaded. That's normal. It works as a generic mouse.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Ok, I've removed the synaptics stuff but I'm still stuck with glx. I figured just removing the "load glx" line from the config would fix it but it doesn't, I still get 

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)

and

Has anyone got a working xorg.conf from a 900 that they could share?

Use ntfs-3g, the FUSE drivers. They get the job done quite well.

Oh, and 3 - Huge thanks to toofishes for their modules (although I kept having configuration woes because I keep killing wifi on my pendrive boot for battery purposes and forgot an equal sign in the grub list tongue - but that was self-inflicted by distraction)

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I didn't have those packages installed, that got me closer, I'm now getting this warning:

(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
3 lines about modules being built-in
waiting for X server to shut down .FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

Then it drops back to the command line. The Xorg.0.log file doesn't contain anything extra that looks like a problem, there are no EE's in it.

Anyone any ideas?

Re: Arch on Eee PC

BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"

Check this in your xorg.conf, because the warning report BusID PCI:0:2:1.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I'm using archaeogeek config from a few entries above.

lspci says this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)

If I change the bus id in the config to .1 rather than .0 I get this error:

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

hm - odd

Oh, checking the log
I have the same warning - how were you starting x, as root or user?
I kept having that problem until I remembered that I hadn't unchecked any line in the .xinitrc file (I mean, the warning is still there, obviously - but it doesn't drop while it's logging in)...

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Thanks toofish, I'll try the NTFS-3G driver later. I assume I need to recompile to get it?

I'm using blixa's kernel in the meantime, E220 works great! Gonna tackle getting a wine compatible memory mode later.

I just tried installing Compiz Fusion as per the wiki, but I assume I need to do something more to get it to work properly? I just installed the compiz-fusion-gtk set, but when I try to launch Compiz as the window manager through the tray icon, I always get 

compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Is something missing in my xorg.conf? I haven't done any changes from the default Eee one, but here it is for the sake of completeness:

I heard about some issues with compositing window managers and the intel driver a few pages back, but I assume this has been resolved? I never had any real problems with Xfce's default compositing service.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

archaeogeek, I installed gdm which pulled in a load of packages and it all started working.

I've now got to get my head around icewn.

Re: Arch on Eee PC

I tried to connect my eeepc to a sony lcd 40". Before that, I added a Virual line with 1280 768, which is the frequency I want, in my xorg.conf but I only get 1024x768...
There is a way to get a non-so-standard frequency?
Do I have to try with 915resolution?
Regards

What driver are you using? If you're using the intel driver (xf86-video-intel), then you don't need 915resolution. wink

Yes, I use the intel driver, but if I add Virtual 1280 768 in the screen section of my xorg.conf, I get only 1024x768.
Did you managed to get 1280x768? How?
Thanks

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Compiz now works fine... no, it actually works GREAT! Blazing fast on the Eee! I just made the changes to xorg.conf listed on this Compiz wiki page

Made the same changes to usb_serial as blixa above, but commented out all modules except USB_SERIAL, USB_SERIAL_GENERIC,
USB_SERIAL_SAFE, and USB_SERIAL_OPTION.

i just found the time to recompile the kernel with only this 3 options, everything works as aspected (at least for me)...u can download the updated kernelconfig and the kernel-package if interested

If I do as Blixa and don't edit the name of the kernel or anything, I shouldn't need to edit grub to boot with the new kernel, right?

right :-)

Re: Arch on Eee PC

Oh dear, I've run into some very interesting issues trying to move /home to an SD-card. I copied over the contents of the /home folder (using cp, so hidden stuff is transferred too) and then edited fstab so it looks like this: 

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


UUID=8309d954-e54a-4d47-a3dc-8e8e329d4c6b / ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
UUID=28bbd7d2-265c-4eec-9ddf-76c63ff930dc /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2

However, the system fails to mount home when I reboot. In bash I automatically get HOME=/ , and my DE won't load as it can't find my personal settings files which are usually found under /home. Funny thing is, when I run cfstab /dev/sdb1 (sdb is my SD card), I see the memory card, but if I try to run it with cfstab /dev/sdb , bash (cfstab) just freezes on me. dmesg then gives the following output

sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x4 [current] 
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0
end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 15758328

Switching memory cards won't help. I tried using both a 8GB Transcend Class 6 and a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB. Also, I get this error regardless if I mount /home on the card.

What the heck am I doing wrong? My method of copying and editing fstab seemed to be the correct way according to the guys in the IRC channel.
