Most things work out of the box with Fedora 14. However, a few things don't, and require some tweaking. I expect that these fixes will work with other ASUS laptops too.
Wireless driver
Download the latest Realtek 8992se driver (I used rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0019.1207.2010.tar.gz) from the following link:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads
Install instructions are provided in the fie.
Suspend / resume
Suspend/resume doesn't work out of the box. You need to install a script https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=492164
Put this script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd and make sure it is
executable and owned by root.
Suspend to disk still doesn't work: it suspends just fine, but kernel panics on reboot. Suspend to memory is OK.
Video driver
The U31jg has two video interfaces, an NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M and the integrated
Mobile Intel 915. Fedora will drive either of these: if you want to use the Intel
915, which may save power, add this line to your kernel command in /boot/grub/grub.conf/:
rdblacklist=nouveau
HDMI output
I've had a lot of trouble getting X reliably to recognize a projector attached to the HDMI output. However, it's not reliable with Windows either, so this may be a hardware problem.
