Hello, there seems to be conflicting information between this forum & the StatUX wiki for Known ACPI Issues. There are two packages (asus-eee-dkms and eeepc-laptop-dkms), the wiki says install the former (if your FSB is not showing in /proc) while the forum (fewt, thanks for the tip!) says install the latter (to resolve issues with the silver 1a & 1b buttons). Do we need both, one or the other depending on hardware, or does eeepc-laptop-dkms supersede asus-eee-dkms?

I had already installed eeepc-laptop-dkms to fix 1a & 1b buttons. I then noticed my FSB reported "0 0 1" so I followed the instructions under "Incorrect FSB Reporting", which fixed that. It is listed to only impact 8.10, but this was under Eeebuntu 3 (which is based on 9.04?).

Can someone edit the step on the StatUX wiki for blacklisting asus_eee to show the file location to enter said information into? I figured it was /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, but others may not. So far so good, FSB reports "100 50 1" now. :D

cheers,

Both of those kernel modules perform different functions. I've been meaning to update the article to talk about the eeepc-laptop module but haven't had time.

Anonymous editing should be enabled for all of the EeePC ACPI pages, so anyone can correct anything. ;-)

Can anyone tell me what exactly does asus_eee module do? I feel that I have experience some performacne boost after I put it into the blacklist.

I corrected this article this morning.

Thanks!

My bad, I tried to put it in "discussion" on that page. Thanks!!
