[edit] ACPI

For the ACPI support we need the follow kernel settings and programs.

[*] Power Management support
[*] Suspend to RAM and standby
[*] Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')
(/dev/<swap>) Default resume partition
[*] CPU idle PM support

<*>   File Allocator
<*>   Swap Allocator
()    Default pre-hibernate command
()    Default post-resume command
<*>   Compression support
<*>   Userspace User Interface support
(/usr/local/sbin/tuxonice_fbsplash) Default userui program location
[*]   Allow Keep Image Mode
[*]   Replace swsusp by default
[*]   Checksum pageset2
(25)  Default waiting time for emergency boot messages
< >   Test pageflags 

[*]   Deprecated /proc/acpi files
[*]   Deprecated power /proc/acpi directories
[*]   Future power /sys interface
[*]   Deprecated /proc/acpi/event support
<*>   AC Adapter
<*>   Battery
<*>   Button
<*>   Video
<*>   Fan
-*-   Dock
<*>   Processor
<*>     Thermal Zone
< >   ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras 

[*] CPU Frequency scaling
[*]   Enable CPUfreq debugging
<*>   CPU frequency translation statistics
[*]     CPU frequency translation statistics details
Default CPUFreq governor (conservative)  --->
-*-   'performance' governor
<*>   'powersave' governor
<*>   'userspace' governor for userspace frequency scaling
<*>   'ondemand' cpufreq policy governor
-*-   'conservative' cpufreq governor
*** CPUFreq processor drivers ***
<*>   ACPI Processor P-States driver
** shared options *** 
[*]   /proc/acpi/processor/../performance interface (deprecated)

And now we need to activate the asus-laptop module. For that we need to include two other packages, too.

--- Backlight & LCD device support
<*>   Lowlevel Backlight controls

[*] LED Support
<*>   LED Class Support

This option here is only avalible by kernels >= 2.6.24

<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

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

# /etc/conf.d/lapsusd config file for /etc/init.d/lapsusd
#
# Lapsusd options
#
#LAPSUSD_OPTS=""

#LAPSUSD_PID_FILE="/var/run/lapsusd.pid"

#LAPSUSD_EXEC="/usr/sbin/lapsusd"

#LAPSUSD_GROUP="lapsus"

#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2008 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /etc/init.d/lapsusd,v 1.00 2008/05/25 01:15:00 j0inty Exp $

LAPSUSD_PID_FILE="${LAPSUSD_PID_FILE:-/var/run/lapsusd.pid}"
LAPSUSD_EXEC="${LAPSUSD_EXEC:-/usr/sbin/lapsusd}"
LAPSUSD_GROUP="${LAPSUSD_GROUP:-lapsus}"

depend() {
        need dbus acpid
}

start() {
        if [ ! -x ${LAPSUSD_EXEC} ]; then
                eerror "Can't find ${LAPSUSD_EXEC} or it is not executable"
                return 1
        fi
        ebegin "Starting ${SVCNAME}"
                start-stop-daemon -S -b -g ${LAPSUSD_GROUP} -m -p ${LAPSUSD_PID_FILE} --exec ${LAPSUSD_EXEC} -- --no-daemon ${LAPSUSD_OPTS}
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping ${SVCNAME}"
        if [ -f ${LAPSUSD_PID_FILE} ]; then
                start-stop-daemon -K -p ${LAPSUSD_PID_FILE}
        else
                eerror "Can't find ${LAPSUSD_PID_FILE} trying to stop ${SVCNAME} over his process name."
                start-stop-daemon -K -n ${SVCNAME}
        fi
        eend $?
}

restart() {
        svc_stop
        svc_start
}

Now you can start the lapsus daemon over the start command.

# /etc/init.d/lapsusd start

To start the daemon in the default runlevel do

# rc-update -a lapsusd default

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.

KEYMAP="de-latin1"

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "CoreKeyboard"
    Option         "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    Option         "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win"
EndSection

[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.

[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.
