 |
|
| Just picked up a shiney new laptop, and I'm having problems making certain things work, as the title says, suspend/hibernate, the backlights on the keyboard, certain function keys, control+alt+delete, there's a small laundry list going on. If there's any gurus out there that can lend me a hand, I'd appreciate it! |

| For a suspend to RAM I use the pm-utils and recommend you too. |

| I just barely got pm-hibernate to work, there's a switch in the bios to keep powering the usb bus that was causing it to hang on hibernate. pm-suspend fails still. |

Some asus have bug with hibernation.
Try this, this has solve my problem and hibernation/suspend work fine
Create a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
TMPLIST=/tmp/ehci-dev-list
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
echo -n '' > $TMPLIST
for i in `ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/ | egrep '[0-9a-z]+\:[0-9a-z]+\:.*$'`; do
# Unbind ehci_hcd for first device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
echo -n "$i" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
echo "$i" >> $TMPLIST
done
;;
resume|thaw)
for i in `cat $TMPLIST`; do
# Bind ehci_hcd for first device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
echo -n "$i" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
done
rm $TMPLIST
;;
esac |
chmod +x 20_custom-ehci_hcd |

| Sweet! Works like a charm! You don't know how to get the keyboard backlight and the function keys working, do you? |

For hotkey enable "Asus Laptop Extras" as module in your kernel.
For keyboard backlight, try enabling "ASUS WMI Driver".
Look here http://acpi4asus.sourceforge.net/ |

They both are enabled.
| Code: | mjolnir linux # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep ASUS
CONFIG_USB_PEGASUS=m
CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS=m
|
The acpi4asus has been merged into the kernel since 2.6 something. And they don't load.
| Code: | mjolnir linux # modprobe asus_laptop
FATAL: Error inserting asus_laptop (/lib/modules/3.2.6-gentoo/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/asus-laptop.ko): No such device

| Ahh. Jeeze. It wasn't there on the list because I didn't have pci hotplugging enabled. I feel like a fool now. Thank you!@ |
