I see that now - at first I just looked for major changes in the document (new section etc...) ... I tried to see if `alsactl init` might set everything to 100%, but it didn't , it still left "speaker" at 67 (better than 59 but still not really audible, and still not controlled by Fn+Audio)... > > > DPI was 133x135 "out of the box" > > We did nothing to change default DPI.

I'm not really sure "what I'm after" here - just that the display seems a little ungainly (large fonts, icons, menu fonts on iceweasel/xterm etc..) I note that if I open a terminal, then sudo xterm, the resulting terminal looks fine (except for it's toolbar size/font) ... maybe it's an LXDE thing. > > > unable to boot or on AC battery (see my last email about PWR_CLOCK_AC=1 > > in eeepc-acpi-scripts) > > I guess we should blacklist 901c.

I did also try running the eeebuntu image live, and I didn't have this problem with running on AC power.

I do note that gnome/kde versions may be forthcoming, and some of the features/tweaks I'm looking for may be more applicable to those. I'm sure we all struggle to find the right balance of desired features and streamlining.
