SOLVING SYSTEM LOG ERRORS UNINSTALL ACPI daemon from adept for solving problems
SOLVING VIDEO ERRORS INSTALL flgrx driver for solving problems about video remember to modify /etc/xorg.conf removing "ati" driver and writing "fglrx" in the driver section
SOLVING WIRELESS ERRORS Launch synaptic or whatever package management tool you prefer Install the package "ndiswrapper-utils" Copy from the ASUS W-Lan directory bcmwl5a.inf and bcmwl5.sys, please pay attention to copy them both otherwise driver won't work(windows wireless-lan driver). Call "sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf" Call "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to install the needed module. Now you can set up your working Wlan device under Desktop->Administration->Networking Dont forget to type "ndiswrapper -m" if you want to load it at startup automatically Add "ndiswrapper" in "/etc/modules"
See How to setup ndiswrapper for more information
