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.
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:
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.
