Title: EeePC 1005HA
Post by: Fallingwater on May 17, 2012, 05:50:12 PM

I want to run TC as the primary system on the titular netbook; most of the system is now installed and working, but I'm having some trouble with the laptop settings. For instance, fn+f2 doesn't disable wifi as it should. Searching this board I saw another EeePC user (901, not 1005HA) who got the eeepc-laptop module (and the keys) working by having "hwmon" and "pci-hotplug" loaded at boot. The thread is very old, but I tried it anyway; no dice - the module still doesn't load.

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe eeepc-laptop
modprobe: can't load module eeepc-laptop (kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko.gz): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
Additionally, after installing laptop-mode-tools.tcz, trying to run "laptop_mode" results in the following:

Code: [Select]

laptop_mode
Unhandled kernel version: 3.0 ('uname -r' = '3.0.21-tinycore')
I really need to get the keys and power settings working so I can extend battery life. I have cpufreq working to limit the CPU's thirst when it's not needed, but I must also be able to disable wifi, and set power options. Being able to select external VGA would also be nice (fn+f8), but I suppose that'll have to wait until I can figure out how to properly configure xorg.conf.

I already searched the board, but nobody seems to be having the same problems on the same computer.

You should probably post that one under TCE Bugs. It looks like that package may be specifically
looking for a 2.6 kernel.

dmesg will say what symbol it wanted.

I'll have a look at updating laptop-mode-tools

Tried updating it yesterday, still gives that error... I imagine the repos still have the old version. No problem, I'll wait some more.

Anything about the keys? How do I run dmesg here? I tried dmesg | grep eee but it shows nothing relevant.

Type   dmesg | less
Use PageUp/PageDown to navigate, q to quit.

Hello

that "laptop" bootcode did seem to work on an old pentium III 850meglahertz here.
It controlled the pcmcia and other hard/w
