What are the issues? I had some problems in the beginning, but took a look at the original xandros-eee wlan.sh script to start/stop wifi, it was a matter of doing the right stuff with the pciehp module.. I use the eeepc kernel from array.org, and I've set up everything so that the following features works out of the box now: * wifi * wired networking * automatic conf of wired/wifi (with ifplugd and wpa_supplicant) * all Fn+hotkeys (except lcd/crt switching) * adjusting cpu speed on AC/battery switch * suspend to ram (on lidclose or Fn-F1) * audio * webcam * light-weight preconfigured rox-filer + icewm desktop * boots of USB stick, MMC/SD card or the internal SSD disk. I began development on an USB stick, then I installed it by simply wiping the internal SSD disk and cp -xaf everything over, then cp some initial devices (may not be needed with my current initramfs) and setting up grub. But I'd like to create some sort of installation script, and cleanup all personal files.. Then I'll make a big tarball of it and release it. >> It boots really fast, but I'd like it to boot even faster. The >> longest time it spends waiting on udevsettle. > > Sounds excellent! Do you have some preliminary numbers? I just did a simple measurement and got 18 seconds from grub to X. Right now the longest time is the X server starting, it flickers the screen a couple of seconds before showing the login screen. May be something with the videodriver, or perhaps it's possible to tweak xorg.conf to get shorter startup time. (maybe some probing going on that could be hardcoded??) -- /Jonatan [ http://kymatica.com ] _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
