Many thanks to those working on a Cedarview solution (hopefully to get basic resolution on my eee x101ch). I would like to try this latest solution but can't get the instructions above to work (bit of a newbie with X, sorry). I installed the pet from smokey-01.com but installpkg.sh gave the message ...

Many thanks for working on this driver! download Slacko 5.4 in the meantime, and see if you can successfully boot to it. It's important to get the "PAE" version of Slacko 5.4 - since I will be compiling a kernel module compatible with this version. The name of the ISO is: slacko-5.3.9.5-op...

If it helps, it appears this netbook has an Intel GMA 3600 series video adapter. I see some grim postings on the net suggesting this is poorly supported in Linux, although also some saying drivers are maybe now available...

How to set eeePC to display 1024 x 600?

Have spent most of the day trying to get 1024x600 instead of 800x600 on an Asus eeePC X101CH. The "personalise settings" option only offers 800x600 and less. Xorgwizard offers 1024x600, but when X finishes loading it is still 800x600. Some old posts say to use 915resolution. This says &quo...
