Hi,
I recently started installing FreeBSD 9.1 on my EeePC 1000h.
I've been searching quite a lot on google and going through several wikis and tutorials to make sure I can configure everything correctly and the way I want it, I have ordered some upgrades (more memory and a SSD) for this laptop and when they arrive I want to go for a full FreeBSD environment.
My latest step has been to enable the hotkey buttons. According to https://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee, in the hotkeys section, I have to load acpi_asus(4) and on running dmesg I should get:
I first tried using
Then, I tried adding acpi_asus_load="YES" to the loader.conf(5) file, I figured it could make some difference loading the module at boot time or not. However, after rebooting, once again it did not work.
I have since been searching for a solution, but I have not been able to find any relevant information. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to solve this or at least point me in the correct direction as I have had no success so far.
As some further information, I tried running kldstat(8) both times, to make sure the module was loaded, and it was listed as being loaded. I am running an unmodified kernel and the only other module I have manually added to be loaded is acpi_video(4), however kldstat(8) lists another 7 modules as having been dynamically loaded. Apart from that, the installation is still pretty much a vanilla installation, I've only installed 2 ports and spent a lot of time battling to get wireless working. Finally, the command [cmd=]uname -mpv[/cmd] results in:
So, does anyone have any idea of what is going wrong or what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions/pointers are appreciated.
Also, I'm curious about how to configure the other hotkey buttons. The configuration is supposed to be in /etc/devd/asus.conf however only 7 of the buttons show up there, while there are 12 buttons...

# kldload acpi_asus. However this did not work, when running [cmd=]dmesg | grep 'acpi'[/cmd] did not report the line in question.
