For now, this is just some notes on the Asus EeePC 1000. The difference between the 1000 and the 901 are more subtle than just the screen size.
For more information, see other pages:

Contents
Wireless
The card is a RaLink RT2860. The driver is not in kernel yet (current is 2.6.28), so you need to compile it yourself from AUR: rt2860.
Wireless connection has been tested by me (big_gie) and works with netcfg (2.1.2-1), wicd (1.5.6-1) and Networkmanager_0.7(0.7.0-1) with unencrypted and WPA. Note that with my router (Dlink DIR-615) I had to disable completely WPA2 and AES. So I need to use exclusively WPA with TKIP.
If you are having trouble getting the wireless working with either the default kernel or the driver from the AUR, try blacklisting the rt2800lib module. This fixed wireless for me (using kernel 2.6.33-ARCH).
Xorg
Here is a working xorg.conf file. Note that it is minimal. Almost everything should be automatically configured.

ACPI
Be sure to load the kernel module "eeepc_laptop" to get acpi events. The 1000 does not send the same events as the 901.
I (big_gie) created a new acpi package to support the 1000 acpi events: acpi-eeepc-genericAUR. This package was inspired by many others:
If you look up "eee" on AUR, you will find a dozen or so packages. I inspired myself from them to create a generic one. It only support the 1000 for the moment, but it should only be a matter of copying the file "acpi-eeepc-1000-events.conf" to "acpi-eeepc-901-events.conf" for example to support a new model.
For the events created by the 1000, see the file "acpi-eeepc-1000-events.conf".
Notes
Sleep
Fn+F1 or closing lid should put the 1000 to sleep. It calls "acpi-eeepc-generic-suspend2ram.sh".
Wifi
Pressing Fn+F2 will call "acpi-eeepc-generic-wifi-toggle.sh" which will toggle the wireless card. Be sure to load "rfkill" module for this to work.
Brightness
Note that the brightness codes depends on the actual brightness level. If at the darker, lower level (00000020) and the "brithness up" button is push, the next level event is generated (00000021). If the button is pushed again, again the next level is generated (00000022) until full brightness is reached (0000002f). So basically, the ACPI event generated depends on the actual level.
Software
Do not bother installing KDE or Gnome on it. The screen might be bigger then the 901, but it is still a small machine.
LXDE
I suggest LXDE for a _really_ lightweight environment. It looks like Windows initially but you can configure as you like:
pacman -S lxde
XFCE
Xfce is still small enough to run on the 1000. Version 4.6 is not out yet, but there is some precompiled packages available from a forum user:
pacman -S xfce4-svn xfce4-goodies-svn
KWin
Because of the compiz problem, I tried kwin instead for its desktop effects and it is way more stable. No problem at all, and it is fast. Kwin is part of "kdebase-workspace" package:
pacman -S kdebase-workspace
Also in kdebase-workspace is "systemsetting". You can configure kwin from it. Just launch it, go in "Desktop" and configure the effects. You do not need to install the whole KDE. Launch kwin with:
kwin --replace

Problems
Compiz
Compiz is running nice with the 1000: it is a great addition in usability because of the small screen. But I do have one problem. If I open to many windows, their content does not get drawn. If I look at X's log file, I have plenty of:
__glXDRIbindTexImage: Failed to register texture offset override
This is using kernel 2.6.28, xorg-server 1.5.3-4, mesa 7.2-1, xf86-video-intel 2.5.99.1-1. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Solution
If I launch compiz using "compiz-manager", then the problem does not seems to occur:
$ sudo pacman -S compiz-manager $ compiz-manager Checking for Xgl: not present.
