Providing some feedback, enabling the ASUS_LAPTOP option at least |
| 38 |
enabled the lights and made a couple of the function key work, how it |
| 39 |
seems that most function keys so far do nothing that I can determine. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The acpi4asus link provided by Paul is likely part of the solution |
| 42 |
also but the instructions make a point of writing your own config file |
| 43 |
and nowhere to be found yet are any examples of what to put in that |
| 44 |
file. (But I really haven't looked much either.) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Anyway, the machine is working well enough to ship off to my mom so I |
| 47 |
think she'll be pretty happy with it. Wish I had one of these babies. |
| 48 |
Quite nice. |
