[edit] ACPI
For the ACPI support we need the follow kernel settings and programs.
[*] Power Management support │ │ │ │ [ ] Legacy Power Management API (DEPRECATED) │ │ │ │ [ ] Power Management Debug Support │ │ │ │ [*] Suspend to RAM and standby │ │ │ │ [*] Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk') │ │ │ │ (/dev/sda3) Default resume partition │ │ │ │ <*> Enhanced Hibernation (TuxOnIce) ---> │ │ │ │ [*] ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> │ │ │ │ CPU Frequency scaling ---> │ │ │ │ [*] CPU idle PM support --- ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support │ │ │ │ [*] Deprecated /proc/acpi files │ │ │ │ [*] Deprecated power /proc/acpi folders │ │ │ │ [*] Future power /sys interface │ │ │ │ [*] Deprecated /proc/acpi/event support │ │ │ │ <*> AC Adapter │ │ │ │ <*> Battery │ │ │ │ <*> Button │ │ │ │ <*> Video │ │ │ │ <*> Fan │ │ │ │ < > Dock │ │ │ │ <*> Processor │ │ │ │ <*> Thermal Zone │ │ │ │ < > ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras │ │ │ │ < > Toshiba Laptop Extras │ │ │ │ [ ] Debug Statements │ │ │ │ -*- ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL) │ │ │ │ < > Smart Battery System
And now we need to activate the asus-laptop module. For that we need to include two other packages, too.
Device Drivers -->
Graphics support --->
[*] Backlight & LCD device support --->
--- Backlight & LCD device support
<*> Lowlevel Backlight controls
LED devices --->
[*] LED Support
<*> LED Class Support
This option here is only avalible by kernels >= 2.6.24
Device Drivers -->
Misc devices --->
<M> Asus Laptop Extras (EXPERIMENTAL)
After you compiled the kernel and restarted you will see that the udev has loaded the asus_laptop module. Now you can go and install the lapsus daemon or use the acpi4asus package out of portage.
[edit] lapsus
1. I have tested it only with the lapsus daemon and kde kicker applet which are shipped with lapsus.
2. To install the lapsus over a portage overlay you have to create one of the ebuild files that are listed here.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-547055.html
| File: /etc/make.conf |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/lapsus" |
# mkdir /usr/local/portage/lapsus/app-laptop/lapsus # cp lapsus-9999.ebuild /usr/local/portage/lapsus/app-laptop/lapsus # echo "app-laptop/lapsus * ** ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords # ebuild /usr/local/portage/lapsus/app-laptop/lapsus/lapsus-9999.ebuild digest # emerge -av app-laptop/lapsus # usermod -a -Glapsus <user> ### Start the daemon # start-stop-daemon -S -b -g lapsus -m -p /var/run/lapsusd.pid --exec /usr/sbin/lapsusd -- --no-daemon ### Stop the daemon # start-stop-daemon -K -p /var/run/lapsusd.pid
To sart the daemon automatically you can add this to local start/stop config files
| File: /etc/conf.d/local.start |
### Lapsus Daemon ### start-stop-daemon -S -b -g lapsus -m -p /var/run/lapsusd.pid --exec /usr/sbin/lapsusd -- --no-daemon |
| File: /etc/conf.d/local.stop |
### Lapsus Daemon ### start-stop-daemon -K -p /var/run/lapsusd.pid |
For KDE Users:
Now you can add a kicker applet that called Asus Laptop. Here you have to configure which feature you want and then you can see the tray buttons to control the LED/Displays/Sound/and soon.
[edit] acpi4asus
For the 2.6.24 kernel and the acpi4asus-0.41.ebuild you need a patch which can found here.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195891
[edit] Asus LCM (asus_oled)
The ASUS LCM device works pretty cool. Under the link below you will find a kernel module.
http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html
# tar -xvf asus_oled-0.0.3.tar.bz2 # cd asus_oled-0.0.3 # make # su # make install # modprobe asus_oled # cat tux_r2.txt > /sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/picture
That was it ;). More informations can find in the readme file.
[edit] Keyboard
This configuration example is for german keyboards. If you have another keyboard change the "de" to your code.

[edit] Sound (snd_hda_intel)
The soundcard is easy to install. Simply add the snd_hda_intel support for alsa in your kernel. For more informations about alsa you can read tho howto posted here on gentoo-wiki.

[edit] SoftLink 56K Modem (snd_intel8x0m)
For the Modem you need to follow the ALSA part of the slmodem howto.

I use it with KPPP and it works very fine.

[edit] KDE
For KDE you can install ksynaptics which works very well.
emerge -av ksynaptics
[edit] USB Camera
[edit] syntekdriver (not working atm)
For this camera you will find a driver, but this doesn-'t create the /dev/video devices at time. :(
http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/
I tested it with the version 1.3.1 from the svn repository but I can't get the camera to work.
stk11xx: Syntek USB2.0 webcam driver startup usbcore: registered new interface driver usb_stk11xx_driver stk11xx: v1.3.1 : Syntek USB Video Camera
This modules are need by the syntekdriver
# modprobe video-dev # modprobe compat_ioctl32
[edit] linux-uvc
With the UVC Linux kernel module the camera is working.
#this installs the linux-uvc driver # svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk linux-uvc # cd linux-uvc # make # su # make install # modprobe -v uvcvideo
[edit] luvcview
This is a Test program where you can also make some settings.
# This part installs luvcview # wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/uvc/luvcview-20070512.tar.gz # tar -xvf lucview-20070512.tar.gz # cd luvciew # make # luvcview -f yuv -w
I have tested it with skype and some other v4l applications and it works fine.
