| [1] The screen is a little off during installation, which makes it a bit difficult to get through (you can't see the buttons in some dialogs). This problem is also manifested during each boot, but the login screen is fine and everything looks fine after that. After installation, this problem can be solved (as described in ["../AsusA500U"]) by adding the boot parameter "vga=771". Just edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add that parameter to the end of each kernel line.

Thanks to whoever fixed that! :) "1280x800" needs to be manually checked during installation for Dapper also. After logging in, xorg.conf has the correct resolution and refresh rate shown (1280x800@60), but the actual resolution is 1280x780. In the resolution preferences gui 1280x800 isn't in the drop-down choices, and there are no choices for refresh rate. |

This problem is also manifested during each boot, but the login screen is fine and everything looks fine after that. After installation, this problem can be solved (as described in ["../AsusA500U"]) by adding the boot parameter "vga=771".

In the resolution preferences gui 1280x800 isn't in the drop-down choices, and there are no choices for refresh rate.
[2] This doesn't work by default. However, it will work if you edit /etc/default/acpi-support and turn #ACPI_SLEEP=true into ACPI_SLEEP=true (as described in ["../AsusA6BG16E-RWDL"]). Thanks, ["ThomasBasset"]
