Today I’ve published: deb-gen.sh - a Debian Package extractor and builder.

with it you can extract .deb package, edit whatever you want and rebuild it without any problem :-)

You can find it here: http://code.alexworld.it/code/deb-gen.sh.html

bye!

I’ve corrected the debian package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_0.99.2-0.1_i386.deb that you can find here: http://alioth.debian.org/~dsalt-guest/eee/

There was a dependency problem that prevented the installation in Ubuntu 8.10 (codename: intrepid), correcting the dependecy reference seems to solve this problem.

You can now use your elantech touchpad with kernel 2.6.28!

You can find the updated xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in my folder: http://www.alexworld.it/download/

or directly there: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_0.99.2-0.1_i386.deb

It’s all ok!!

all works ok, kernel 2.6.28 gives you full support to your eeepc 900 hardware without any type of patch!

You have only to update xserver-xorg-synaptics to the latest version: 0.99.* otherwise you won’t have the complete touchpad support (by elantech driver included in the kernel).

you can find xserver-xorg-synaptics debian packages here: http://alioth.debian.org/~dsalt-guest/eee/

Goodbye,

Hello, maybe if you have an Asus eeepc this can sound familiar:

What?? Are you going crazy with some SD CARDS?

Cannot you mount them an dmesg shows you something like previous logfile?

Don’t worry man, the soution is very simple:

reboot your eeepc, press F2 to enter BIOS and set the Variable: “OS Installation” to: [Finished].

That’s all, all of your sd cards will begin to work without any problems!

see you!
