Current Issues

In order to enable the video driver on Karmic, a hack is needed.

The internal microphone is not working at 100%.

System Info

system-manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.

system-product-name: 1101HA

system-version: x.x

Disclaimer

All the information below are related to the experience I had installing kubuntu (netbook remox) 9.10 karmic koala. I did not try other versions or flavours of ubuntu.
In general I would say that, after a bit of work, 95% of the hardware works fine.

Installation

Instructions on the installation of kubuntu netbook remix can be found here.
In order to start the the eee-pc from USB, press the ESC key at boot time.

Video

The biggest issue with this laptop is that the poulsbo chipset used by the video card has, to date, no native linux driver. A proprietary linux driver is available, but ubuntu 9.10 is not officially supported. In order to get the driver to work in karmic, a little hack is needed. Full details can be found in HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo.

Audio

Touchpad

Some general reading on the synaptic touchpad configuration can be found at this link.
Put the content below in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi and reboot your laptop in order to enable two finger scrolling.
