# ASUS Eee PC 1000

For now, this is just some notes on the Asus EeePC 1000. The difference between the 1000 and the 901 are more subtle than just the screen size.

## Wireless

The card is a RaLink RT2860. The driver is not in kernel yet (current is 2.6.28), so you need to compile it yourself from AUR: rt2860AUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror].

Wireless connection has been tested by me (big_gie) and works with netcfg (2.1.2-1), wicd (1.5.6-1) and Networkmanager 0.7(0.7.0-1) with unencrypted and WPA. Note that with my router (Dlink DIR-615) I had to disable completely WPA2 and AES. So I need to use exclusively WPA with TKIP.

If you are having trouble getting the wireless working with either the default kernel or the driver from the AUR, try blacklisting the rt2800lib module. This fixed wireless for me (using kernel 2.6.33-ARCH).

## Xorg

Here is a working xorg.conf file. Note that it is minimal. Almost everything should be automatically configured.

## ACPI

Be sure to load the kernel module "eeepc_laptop" to get acpi events. The 1000 does not send the same events as the 901.

I (big_gie) created a new acpi package to support the 1000 acpi events: acpi-eeepc-genericAUR.

If you look up "eee" on AUR, you will find a dozen or so packages. I inspired myself from them to create a generic one. It only support the 1000 for the moment, but it should only be a matter of copying the file "acpi-eeepc-1000-events.conf" to "acpi-eeepc-901-events.conf" for example to support a new model.

For the events created by the 1000, see the file "acpi-eeepc-1000-events.conf".

### Notes

#### Sleep

Fn+F1 or closing lid should put the 1000 to sleep. It calls "acpi-eeepc-generic-suspend2ram.sh".

#### Wifi

Pressing Fn+F2 will call "acpi-eeepc-generic-wifi-toggle.sh" which will toggle the wireless card. Be sure to load "rfkill" module for this to work.

#### Brightness

Note that the brightness codes depends on the actual brightness level. If at the darker, lower level (00000020) and the "brithness up" button is push, the next level event is generated (00000021). If the button is pushed again, again the next level is generated (00000022) until full brightness is reached (0000002f). So basically, the ACPI event generated depends on the actual level.
