[Bug 262679] Re: eeepc-acpi-scripts is not installable

 

I don't know if I'm correct, but in my case, after doing some research, it proves unnecessary to install it.
What solves everything is:

<code>
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
</code>

replace:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
with:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"

and then:
<code>
sudo update-grub
</code>

Bug description:
Binary package hint: eeepc-acpi-scripts

eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on acpi-support-base, which is not available in intrepid. Furthermore, the scripts attempt to load the ath_pci module, which is known not to work with the eeepc. Instead it needs to be updated to use the ath5k module which is included with 2.6.27 kernel, and works fine, providing the ath_pci driver is blacklisted. Otherwise, there is no point in having the package available.
