[Foresight-distro] Foresight Mobile Editon on my Eeepc 701

[Cesar Cardoso]

Hi all,

some notes about the Mobile Edition. I'm on a EeePC 701 4G. Installed twice.

- on installation, I told my system to use pt_BR but said that my clock was on UTC. Why it wants to set my clock to UTC-3 or UTC-6?
- my system is on pt_BR, but my keyboard is us_intl; even telling Anaconda about this, it insists on using plain us keyboard on xorg.conf. Had to change it manually.
- we should package comgt and put in on Mobile Edition, at least for now - you know, NM's UMTS modem support is awesomely great, but it doesn't show signal strenght and such.
- we should package usb_modeswitch and put in on Mobile Edition. Not all modems are well-behaved like Huawei E220/E226...
- EeePC 701 doesn't have hardware LEDs for Caps Lock/Num Lock, we need those lights on the bar
- Fn+F{1-7} doesn't work, so I can't turn off/on wireless and mute the computer and change to external monitor etc using the keys
- Home key doesn't work, BTW
- on my first install, it loaded ath5k instead of ath_pci; on my second install, it was correct.
- g-p-m reports battery life unaccurately
