On 2.6.35, eeepc-wmi didn't support a lot of features, including cpufv. On 2.6.38, I was wrong, eeepc-wmi *did* support cpufv. On 2.6.39 (and using acpi4asus-dkms tree, like you did), it also does. The only thing is that cpufv is read-only. You should be able to use acpi4asus-dkms with 2.6.35, but it's a good idea to upgrade your kernel as soon as you can (Natty should be released soon right ?). >> and if you want these keys to work out the box, you can create a new bug for >> each key. > I will, if it's the right way.

This is the distribution role to make sure that these keys are handled out-the-box. But most of the time, it's also your desktop environment that take care of that. So you can probably file a bug against KDE or Gnome. For example on gnome, g-p-m handle a lot of these keys. For some keys, you should also be able to bind them to the right action using your DE configuration interface. >>Seems that your BIOS is bugged, is it up to date ? > Sadly, yes.

Same old story... So, let's try to fix the cpufv problem again. Could you try: - with different kernel versions (2.6.35, 2.6.38, 2.6.38+ ?) - with and without acpi_osi=Linux Note that: - with acpi_osi=Linux you have to be sure that only eeepc-laptop is loaded when you set acpi_osi, remove eeepc-wmi with rrmod - when using 2.6.35 and eeepc-wmi, make sure that you use a the new version of eeepc-wmi And make a small table of working and non-working configurations ?
