Eee PC 1005HA Keyboard Shortcuts

[cambunctious]

Some of the shorcuts work but some don't like Sleep, Disable Touchpad, Turn off Monitor. I've tried installing the eeepc-acpi-scripts package but it won't install.

eeepc-acpi-scripts:
Depends: acpi-support-base but it is not installable

I found this nifty little tutorial but I don't know how to use Fn keys with it.

Any advice? Thanks!

I am interested in the exact same thing. I mostly want to regain the additional "touchpad off" key that is detached from the keyboard if possible. (I hate how I tap the touchpad when I am trying to type, so that key comes in handy big time with writing papers and whatnot)

I will hunt as well, and if I gather anything I will def. post it up here.

You can create a script to toggle the touchpad as I have here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1401645 in addendum section b: toggle shortcut.

# toggle synaptic touchpad on/off
# get current state
SYNSTATE=$(xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" | grep Enabled | grep -Eo '.$')
# change to other state
if [ $SYNSTATE = 0 ]; then
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 8 1
elif [ $SYNSTATE = 1 ]; then
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 8 0
else
echo "i give up"
exit 1
fi
exit 0

use the name of your touchpad in all 3 places, make that executable and place it in /usr/bin then you can either run it by pressing alt/f2 and typing the name of the script or make a shortcut key combination in gnome-keybinding-properties using the name of the script as a command then use your touchpad off key as the toggle or any other key combination.

I tried the following:

1. Uninstalled acpi-support from Synaptic
2. Downloaded and installed acpi-support-base from: here
3. Installed eeepc-acpi-scripts from Synaptic.

Now, just a few other keys work. I'm working on it...

Someone else try it post some feedback! Thanks!
