eee-osd


A scriptpack to get back standard osd-display for hotkey-commands and managing acpi events when using alternative distributions on the eee-pc

Project Description

This scriptpack aims at enabling the osd-display that one has with the standard xandros os on the eee-pc on other distributions.

Furthermore it offers support for the fn-fx hotkeys for brightness, volume control and so on.

Currently this scriptpack has only been adopted and customised for eeeXubuntu but developers who use other distributions on their eee may feel free to port it for their distribution as well.

CHANGELOG

2.1

  • added configfile functionality
  • position of the osd can be altered
  • osd-imagetheme can be changed
  • improved wifi-on-off script
  • added command to fn+f6 hotkey
  • various minor bugfixes

2.0

  • scriptpack now uses a customized version of the asusosd application, so it does not have to be built around the asusosd application anymore but can make real use of it
  • a lot of the external scripts could be removed since their functionality was moved into the custom asusosd executable
  • the issue with slow or leaping display of volume level should be improved a lot with this release
  • the installer script was modified so it can be used to upgrade an older version without any precautions necessary (this behaviour will be kept for any future version)

1.1

  • removed unnecessary debug-output in volume_control.sh
  • create a lot more sophisticated install script which will make sure directories exist and files and directories get the needed permissions
  • added logging to the install script so that progress and errors are logged to logfiles for easier debugging

1.0

  • the initial version of the scriptpack
