Installing Arch
This wiki page supplements these pages: Beginners Guide, the Official Install Guide, and Installing Arch Linux on the Asus EEE PC. Please refer to those guides first before following the eeepc-specific pointers on this page.
Following the Beginners Guide
Graphics, Ethernet, Wireless, Audio and the Card Reader work "out of the box".
Camera
Is working fine with Ekiga, Skype displays the image upside-down
to fix this use command:
for x86_x64
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
for i686
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
To make this happen automatically just create a script named skyp (or anything you want it to be)
#!/bin/bash #get the architecture of the system arch=`uname -m` #corrects upside down webcam in skype case $arch in x86_64) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype; ;; i686) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype; ;; esac
Save this script as "skyp" and '#chmod +x skyp'. Move this script to '/usr/bin/' with '#mv skyp /usr/bin/'. From now on typing in skyp should load skype with the proper webcam orientation.
Function Keys
Suspend-, Brightness- and Audiokeys work. Others may need special configuration. My Suspendkey was executing the suspend from KDE and from the acpi Interface. I disabled the KDE event, and now Suspend works.
In openbox, editting ~/.config/rc.xml and appending (under <keyboard>); this was taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox:
<!-- Keybindings for audio control --> <keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume"> <action name="Execute"> <command>amixer set Master 5%+ unmute</command> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume"> <action name="Execute"> <command>amixer set Master 5%- unmute</command> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="XF86AudioMute"> <action name="Execute"> <command>amixer set Master toggle</command> </action> </keybind>
will make the audio keys work if alsa is installed.
Installing OpenBox
OpenBox can be installed by issuing #pacman -S openbox. Follow the instructions on screen to copy the openbox scripts to '~/.config/openbox/'.
Rotating the touch screen in openbox
Editing the openbox rc.xml file in '~/.config/openbox/rc.xml' will allow configuration of the Express Gate button. Open a terminal and run $xev (non-root) to find out the key associated with the Express Gate button (just click it while in xev). For my system it was key 248 (0xF8) in hexadecimal. Edit your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml to include the following code:
<!-- Keybindings for express gate button --> <keybind key="0xF8"> <action name="ShowMenu"> <menu>root-menu</menu> </action> </keybind> </keyboard>
This will bind the express gate key to show the openbox menu whenever clicked.
To rotate the screen, use the following script:
#!/bin/bash #This script rotates the touchscreen based on input from openbox case $1 in left) xrandr -o 1; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axis Inversion" 1 0; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axes Swap" 1; nitrogen --set-scaled ~/wallpaper.jpg; ;; right) xrandr -o 3; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axis Inversion" 0 1; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axes Swap" 1; nitrogen --set-scaled ~/wallpaper.jpg; ;; upside_down) xrandr -o 2; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axes Swap" 0; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axis Inversion" 1 1; nitrogen --set-scaled ~/wallpaper.jpg; ;; normal) xrandr -o 0; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axes Swap" 0; xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Axis Inversion" 0 0; nitrogen --set-scaled ~/wallpaper.jpg; esac
Save this script as 'rotate_touch_screen' (or whatever you want to name it) and make it executable with '#chmod +x rotate_touch_screen'. Move it to /usr/bin with '#mv rotate_touch_screen /usr/bin/'.
Edit '~/.config/openbox/menu.xml' to include the following code:
<menu id="root-menu-773645" label="Rotate Screen"> <item label="Normal"> <action name="Execute"> <execute> rotate_touch_screen normal </execute> </action> </item> <item label="Right"> <action name="Execute"> <execute> rotate_touch_screen right </execute> </action> </item> <item label="Upside Down"> <action name="Execute"> <execute> rotate_touch_screen upside_down </execute> </action> </item> <item label="Left"> <action name="Execute"> <execute> rotate_touch_screen left </execute> </action> </item>
You can edit the position of this piece of code (if you know XML) or just add it in somewhere before the last line '</openbox_menu>' of the script. Change the position by using obmenu (GUI interface for editing openbox menu).
On Screen Keyboard
Install kvkbd with from the Arch user repository (if using packer : packer -S kvkbd). Make sure you have some sort of system tray (I used tint2) and edit '~/.config/openbox/autostart' to include the following statement:
kvkbd &
This will start up kvkbd everytime openbox starts up. Once kvkbd is started up it will appear in the system tray, simply clicking the icon in the tray will pop out the virtual keyboard.
Suspend2RAM
Touchscreen is not working afterwards.
Hibernate
Not Working.
Multi-Touch
Not Working.
