Re: ASUS Eee PC 1000HE + Fedora 11
Very cool. As you may have seen in another thread here, I bought an ASUS EeePC 1000HA for my mom and have been prepping it up with OpenSuSE 11.1. Like yours, it came preloaded with winblows xp. I took a slightly different tact on the repartitioning to save the xp preload. I booted a Pupeee distro from usb stick and then invoked gpartd. I shrank the C: partition down (20G), then deleted the second primary partition (D:) and left the two remaining partitions at the end (the winblows recovery and whatever is in that small (bios related?) partition alone. I made an extended partition in the newly unallocated space. Then I created a new smaller (10G) NTFS partition in that extended partition to use as the new D: for xp. Then a 70Meg /boot partiton for OpenSuSE. The rest of the unallocated space I made into an Linux LVM partition. The root filesystem, home filesystem, and swap are all LVM volumes instead of partitions. It looks like this now:
In my case everything worked after adding asus eeePC related packages from an OpenSuSE repository. All of the buttons for suspend, volume, screen brightness work. The camera works, and the wireless worked out of the box. (The 1000HA has an atheros chip and uses the ath5k module.)
How about the Bluetooth? Does that work on the 1000HE out of the box? The 1000HA does not have Bluetooth.
I haven't even tried to boot the xp yet.

I just successfully paired my bluetooth mouse to the Eee. So yes bluetooth is fully functional on the Eee under Fedora. |
