Ubuntu
Install
For this one I wanted a minimal maintenance stuff for basic laptop operations so I chose the latest Ubuntu at the moment: Lucid Lynx.
Actually they have a version special for netbooks, installable from a USB stick, cool:
Ubuntu Netbook 10.04
The only thing is that I wanted to only replace the 2 NTFS partitions and keep the last 2 partitions for now.
First time I tried I used the partition tool from Ubuntu installer but if it succeeded completing the install, after reboot it appeared that the partition table didn't contain refs to the root partition, ouch! So the new partition table was never written to the disk.
I rebooted on a good old FCCU liveCD v12 and changed the partition table the way I wanted then I did again the Ubuntu install, this time without troubles.
I advise to keep at least the EFI partition as it's an 8Mb primary partition used by the BIOS for its "Boot Booster".
In case you already deleted it, simply recreate it with fdisk: 8Mb, type "ef". On reboot, hit F2, and re-enable boot booster in the BIOS.
Mine is at end of the 250Gb HDD:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda4 30400 30401 16064+ ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
Out-of-the-Box
Working:
- Suspend-to-RAM
- Suspend-to-Disk (hibernate)
- Webcam
- VGA output
- Ethernet
- Wi-Fi
- Audio playback
- CPU freq scaling 1/1.33/1.66GHz, ondemand
- sdcard reader
- Silverkey disable touchpad
- Hotkeys: suspend, Wi-Fi on/off, disable touchpad, brightness up/down, volume off/up/down
- Bluetooth, it detected a W300i phone and I could use the phone as remote control OOB, could use it to access Internet as well apparently
- My 3G USB key (Vodaphone K3565 = Huawei E160)
Not working?:
- multi-touchpad. See below the paragraph about Touchpad
- audio mic. See below the paragraph about Microphone
- Hotkeys: backlight on/off (not clear, it worked at the beginning, anyway it's barely usable without any backlight... Once Jupiter is used it seems it's used as VGAOFF)
- Hotkeys: hotkey display toggle, hotkey display resize, taskmanager, super-hybrid-engine. See below how to use them with eeepc-laptop & Jupiter
Tuning with eeepc-laptop
This modules gives access to the eee hotkeys & eee Super Hybrid Engine for better powersafe control
Install driver
$ modinfo eeepc-laptop filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko license: GPL description: Eee PC Hotkey Driver author: Corentin Chary, Eric Cooper srcversion: 9A474055673699361160D37 alias: acpi*:ASUS010:* depends: vermagic: 2.6.32-23-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586 parm: hotplug_disabled:Disable hotplug for wireless device. If your laptop need that, please report to acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net. (bool)
sudo vi /etc/default/grub => GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux" sudo update-grub reboot
Now eeepc-laptop kernel module will be properly loaded

If you run X11, you should use xrandr instead.

CPU clock configuration:

Reading this file will show the raw hexadecimal value which is defined as follow:
| 8 bit | 8 bit | | `---- Current mode `------------ Availables modes
For example, 0x301 means: mode 1 selected, 3 available modes.
Jupiter
Jupiter is taking care of multiple power saving settings including the eee SHE & GMA950 overclocking if you install also jupiter-support-eee
See http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/jupiter-take-advantage-of-asus-super.html
To install it, there are a few pre-requisite:
aptitude install libnotify-bin acpi
Get .deb packages jupiter & jupiter-support-eee from here & install them
It takes also care of the extra FN buttons (there is also packages eee-applet & eeepc-acpi-scripts or eeepc-control if you prefer not to use Jupiter)
Applet will start at reboot, otherwise you can already start it manually by calling "jupiter.exe" (oups, C#...)
Hovering applet displays CPU temperature.
Issue: very slow at displaying messages when pressing several times / several buttons in a short amount of time.
Support:
Touchpad
aptitude install gpointing-device-settings
& enable circular scrolling (System / Pointing Devices)
For multi-touch I'm not sure how to proceed. Lucid Lynx doesn't use hal anymore.

Microphone
Microphone does not work out of the box.
From here:
Install the pulse audio tools
aptitude install paman pavucontrol pavumeter padevchooser
Sound & Video / PulseAudio Volume Control / Input Devices tab:
Unmute audio
Unlock channels
Set front left channel to 100% and the front right channel to 0%.

Bugs
At reboot I sometimes encountered the following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/572279
Firmware upgrade
It has v1102, since there were a couple of new versions:
1401 Update brightness table 1301 Improve Wifi performance 1301 Update EC firmware 1203 Fix there is no "safely remove hardware" icon in windows 7 when plug in SD card.
So let's try to install v1401
- http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx
- EEE family / EEE PC / 1005HA / Linux
- BIOS 1401
- Unzip archive
- Rename file 1005HA-ASUS-1401.ROM into 1005HA.ROM and move it to a USB stick (my 6Gb USB HD wasn't detected I had to use a real 1Gb USB Flash)
- Reboot on the USB by pressing ALT-F2 while rebooting
- Flash is done automatically
- Remove USB stick & reboot
