Ubuntu Eee Update: Wifi fixed, Screen resolution screwed.
Looks like I fixed the wifi at last. I was able to download a more updated version of madwifi when I went to the repo. So essentially, there’s only one simple change with the original steps.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget ‘http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz‘
tar zxvf madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
cd madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007
make clean
make
sudo make install
reboot
What’s fixed?
Wifi turns on/off properly.
On the other hand, after running the ubuntu-eee-script, the resolution was screwed up. The graphic driver aparently change to Intel 810, while I knew it was “None” before. How to fix this is by run 915resolution but it doesn’t work for me. No matter how many times I tried, it’s still the same. I’ll figure this out.

You may have a look into xorg.conf, there is a section about the screen, maybe editing it could do the trick

Apr 16, 08 at 4:21 pmYeah, the solution to the 640x problem is to reset the xorg file:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
And stay away from Screens and Graphics – it’s the root of all evil
