- Make ACPI work natively in Debian
- Short term: using eeepc-acpi-source package
- Make all laptop buttons, battery, suspend, etc. work
Package ecc's scripts at: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/eeepc-acpi-scripts.tar.gz
- Salient points from #debian-eeepc irclog for 11 Feb 2008
- Make this package group-maintained by debian-eeepc-devel
- Feel free to remove the $eeepc_dir stuff (only there because ecc is testing a kernel patch that puts all the controls under /sys/devices/platform/asus instead of /proc/acpi/asus, which is deprecated)
- Currently uses aosd_cat which shows pretty antialiased fonts rather than xosd_cat, but that package has not been very stable (incompatible changes between minor releases, etc.) -- maybe depend on alternatives, listing the 'preferred' aosd_cat first (needs support for both in function notify() in hotkey.sh to test for executable and do the right thing)
- Rebuild custom installer to include eeepc-acpi module and eeepc-acpi-scripts package
- Make all laptop buttons, battery, suspend, etc. work
- Long term: Help Asus merge ACPI upstream
- asus-acpi (and therefore eeepc-acpi which is a fork) are deprecated; work with the asus-laptop maintainer to merge patches for the Eee
- Short term: using eeepc-acpi-source package
- Improve installer for Eee
- Short term: using custom d-i installer
- Post instructions in wiki for rebuilding d-i installer for the Eee
- based on: ["DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel"]
- Ensure atl2 is included in installer image (current image includes it in the installer but not in the target system due to a bug in the d-i config)
- Incorporate steps documented in ["../HowTo/Install"]
- Wireless
- Camera
- ACPI (hotkeys)
- Misc. conf fixes, workarounds
- won't shutdown
- silence hdd errors
- Post instructions in wiki for rebuilding d-i installer for the Eee
Long term: ensure kernel & related packages support Eee natively so that standard d-i installer supports Eee without modification
- Short term: using custom d-i installer
