[1] Works after installing eeepc-acpi-scripts. [2] Worked before installing eeepc-acpi-scripts. Does not work after. [3] No response. Unknown if this is the key(s) or another setting. [4] I do not have access to an external monitor to test this.
Hibernate and suspend both seem to work. There is no Bluetooth on the model tested. Webcam works in Gnome, it was not tested in LXDE.
I needed to do the following in order to get the keys working that required the eeepc-acpi-scripts. It only seemed to work if preformed in this order:
- install of base system and laptop only.
- edit /etc/default/grub to include the following: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=acpi_osi="Linux"
- run update-grub
- reboot
- install eeepc-acpi-scripts
- reboot
- run aptitude purge acpi-fakekey
- Reboot and install DE
