I've been having some hardware problems lately with my eee, so I don't know how much intensive work I'll be able to do with it (I'm experiencing some random hard freezes that make working with it a pain). I could surely do some polishing and fixing if needed though. The state as of now is: #581312 is a blocker, wireless toggling is completely broken in acpi-support as of now. I can't think of a clever way of supporting wireless toggling with rt2870 on broken kernels; I guess depending on linux >= 2.6.32-5 would be by far the easiest way. The user could still be runnning an old one though, but it's a bug in the kernel and we can't do much about it.. The computer doesn't suspend when the lid is closed (if a power manager doesn't do that on its own), since taht is the default in acpi-support. Some time ago it was rumored that it could be a thermal problem for eees, but [0] seems to suggest it is not. It would be a change of behaviour though. The mixer stuff should probably be removed or moved to acpi-support. Since in the integration branch it's turned off by default, this isn't a big problem. The same goes for OSD The same does NOT go for vga toggle: it will do things on non-eee systems, and it shouldn't. Since the functionality we are providing depends on Xorg being running anyway, I think we should let some X program deal with it (xfce, gnome and kde at least do that by default I think) In my branch I moved scripts away from /etc. I think this is the most sensible choice, but Damyan disagrees. It's not something that is needed for the integration with acpi-support at all, but If a choice is made to keep scripts in /etc then you have to move scripts back before changing my branch I can't think of anything else by now...
