Hi everyone.
I need your help. I am more or less new to Arch and I have a problem with eee-control on my
EEE PC 1000HE.
I have installed eee-control from AUR
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22076
When I now want to start the daemon it says
'Cannot access ACPI control files!
Make sure the modules eeepc_acpi (or eeepc_laptop) are loaded.'
Can you point me to the right direction what I have to do now?
modprobe gives me this (but I even don´t know if I have to use modprobe)
modprobe eeepc_acpi
FATAL: Module eeepc_acpi not found.
modprobe eeepc_laptop
FATAL: Error inserting eeepc_laptop
(/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko): No
such device
Thanks and regards

You may have the same problem I have.
Open /boot/grub/menu.lst as root.
Append acpi_osi=Linux to the line
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdX ro
=>
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdX ro acpi_osi=Linux
Save and reboot.
I have no idea what causes the error but for me it solves it and makes me able to load the eeepc-laptop module.
(Are you sure it is eeepc_laptop and not eeepc-laptop?)

Thanks for answering quickly.
Now I can modprobe eeepc-laptop module, start the daemon and access some values like camera, card reader, WLAN etc. I think for performance, sensors and so on I have to start it while booting.
How can I tell Arch to load the module while booting?
(And yes it is eeepc-laptop but in the terminal it says eeepc_laptop. Dunno why - I just copy´n´pasted it)

Put it in the MODULES=() array in rc.conf.
Hm... I never noticed this:
~ % modinfo eeepc-laptop
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko
...
~ % modinfo eeepc_laptop
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko
...
Two names for the same module.
