Asus UX32A Zenbook 12.04 install somewhat successful gfx issues

[cutekazuya]

after some digging around, i found a kernel that works perfectly:

1) download kernel

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...10-20-quantal/

2) install it

Open terminal > CD Downloads/
sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb
sudo reboot

make sure you are not using acpi_backlight=vendor in /etc/default/grub

All the fn keys work with this kernel, yes fn + f5 / f6 for screen brightness as well.

The only other problem I had was I kept getting "System program problem detected", I just switched off the apport reporting:

sudo gedit /etc/default/apport

change enabled=1 to enabled=0

Anyone else had any luck with this kernel?

Hi,

You seem fairly happy with the kernel 3.7 (there should be 3.8, now... even better?). I wouldn't mind to adjust brightness not using the Fn keys. What I am worried about is if everything else works or not. At the moment I am a bit confused. I am interested in an Asus UX32VD-R4002P, but I still don't know if Ubuntu is working on it (and of course I do not intend to use Windows instead!).

What is the state of the art? Any suggestion? Should I wait for new kernels (newer than 3.8)?

Thank you
