Hey bud, I replied to you over at NBR: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-reviews-owners-lounges/624121-asus-u24e-review-owners-lounge-24.html#post8395286

In a nutshell, your kernel and driver...

I'm not sure the boot flag would affect it...

Yeah 1015PE.ROM in uppercase, but I don't think it matters on a FAT filesystem.

@mkquist pwd stands for print working directory, it returns the full path of your current working directory

I haven't subscribed to this thread in ages, I'll try reading backwards when I have more...

Hehe. Well ur hands are clean then! I only saw this happen to one person who formatted with ******* and it ended up being fat32 so that was why I mentioned it.

Maybe you got a bad download? I'm...

Yes unless it gets to programming it is not really flashing so you can reboot.

Bootblock recovery is a built in flashing utility if the bios cannot boot normally because it has become damaged. It...

It should say something like begin programming...

At the programming stage it takes like 10 minutes. If it does not get to programming you probably need to format your usb stick fat16 instead of...

There are a few bugs for the samsungs, I've tried brute forcing it also and that didn't work (but I don't have access to one of those machines now):...

I don't have that problem, but you can try to figure out what's happening by running

sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

The first thing I'd look at is rfkill (sudo apt-get install rfkill if it's not...

Try a capital on Linux instead of lowercase linux, as in acpi_osi=Linux

I'm not sure if that makes a difference, if it does, my fault. :p

Yeah I'm waiting on my 2GB stick to get here... can't come too soon. Once it starts swapping it slows to a crawl, even on a slim Debian install it seems to go about ~100MB over the limit when I've...

@drum4zirrus

Yeah as long as it's not gotten to the point where it says 'programming' you aren't in the middle of an upgrade and you can reboot or whatever. Make sure your usb drive is formatted...

@drum4zirrus you can just update the bios and force acpi_osi=linux from the boot prompt instead. The newest bios doesn't reduce the backlight brightness like the previous versions. If you don't force...

@PALKOVNIK, I just tried ad-hoc and it doesn't seem to work, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be working yet (it's a staging driver). In syslog I get this:

Jan 13 15:24:55 1015pem...

@PALKOVNIK did you install the firmware? There's a guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617380

edit: oops you linked that guide... :p

@PALKOVNIK I don't have any problems with brcm80211, but I did always have issues with broadcom sta/wl.

@fuduntu thanks that's the right way to do it, I forgot about dmidecode. :)

@PALKOVNIK, there are a few ways to tell what BIOS you are on. The POST screen should tell you, if you have quiet boot enabled you have to hit Esc at the asus logo when you first turn the computer...

Oh yeah, you'd need only the option lines, specifically the last 3, nothing else, not even the section markers. That's crazy that the keyboard died, lol! Not sure why... Also, make sure your settings...

@fuduntu I didn't have it disabled, I had to re-enable it manually at startup, I'm on debian though. I didn't bother to find out why it was doing that, because I found a different solution. :p Nice...

If you want to get those hotkeys working with eeepc-wmi instead of eeepc-acpi you can use my modifications above to the kernel module. That way you don't get reduced brightness and everything works...

@mikewhatever sorry that was bad info, I don't use Ubuntu, I'm on Debian.. it looks like it may have been changed to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d now since 10.10. Give that a shot, if it still doesn't...

@mikewhatever try throwing the option lines in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

@ drum4zirrus

It's the source code to the eeepc-wmi kernel module, found in your kernel source tree. You need to rebuild this module after modifying the source. If you want detailed instructions...

@PALKOVNIK I've been using brcm80211 instead of STA, thanks though. I still have the reduced backlight if I force ACPI_OSI, no reason to do that for me though.

Forcing acpi_osi=Linux on this machine reduces the maximum brightness.

I've noticed those hotkeys don't work either -- they work without eeepc_wmi but then the volume hotkeys don't work.

I...

@Roadmaster, It may be stuck in relative mode, or the protocol may be different again, try fuzzing the register values to get it into absolute mode. If you go to the original bug for this thread here...
