Kernel26-ice 2.6.32-12 does not work with 1000HE acpi-eeepc-generic

Help. Yesterday I've installed new Kernel26-ice 2.6.32-12. Now my acpi-eeepc-generic package is not working. There are not any notify, the most of hotkeys are also not worked.
When I try to change brightness I see notify:

acpi-eeepc-generic-handler: undefined group/action (video) event: LCDD 00000086 00000000

Time to time the screen blinks, after 10-15 min it is off.

Are you on 64-bit or 32-bit? There's probably a kernel config option which you don't have set.

32-bit. What is a option?

Please google/read up on compiling your own kernel. In the compilation process there is a 'make config' line, where you select particular options for what modules are compiled in to your kernel. There is probably one that affects your eeepc specifically.

If you mean

CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m

and

CONFIG_EEEPC_LAPTOP=m

options in 'config' it have been on by default
or
I should change parameter 'm' to 'y'?

I have no idea which options are the necessary ones. It can be very un-obvious sometimes. I'd look in the ACPI group, compare what options differ from the stock kernel config (get that through abs, do a 'diff' on that particular section).

Re: Kernel26-ice 2.6.32-12 does not work with 1000HE acpi-eeepc-generic

Its not CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP. It's CONFIG_EEEPC_LAPTOP for the eeepc. Arch's stock kernel should work well enough to not use your own kernel.

ACPI events might have changed in .32 or something. Open an issue on the homepage. As for the flickering, I have flickers too since some weeks. I think it might be fixed in kernel 2.6.33. See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87879

I have tried to build a kernel26-ice one more time this day with 'CONFIG_EEEPC_LAPTOP=y' parameter. Result is the same. Flicking has gone, but hotkeys still doesn't work. However manually starting *.sh files from /etc/acpi/eeepc is working well. The same situation with core/kernel26 2.6.32
