Discussion
Hello,
every discribed bug is still avaiable in ubuntu 12.10!
Its stupid, i bought this laptop and i thought the asus laptops should have a good linux compatibility. - wrong, this eeepc works only with the windows 7 COMPLETELY fine.
The biggest failure in my opinion is the acpi problem.
Ok, you can solve it temporarely with adding some commands in different files an the laptop shuts down correctly. But don't forget, you have to use the standby mode only in case of disconnected power supply. If you connect the laptop to power then he will go to sleep mode but dont wake up from there…
Its hopeless to use ubuntu on this type of laptop..

This bug should be sorted in 12.10, not sure if older kernels will get fixed.

We run this net-book with Linux Mint Debian Edition with Xfce, kernel 3.2 64bit. It works like a charm - almost everything.
The only disappointment: the ACPI functions work badly. There is some mighty fiddling required to get at least the “Suspend” function to work partially. Research on the Internet is required. Forget about “Hibernate”. Some of the blue special keys are not working as well, but that's not too important.
The general impression, however, is very good.
