I charged it and immediately installed Ubuntu and adamm's kernel from array.org. Everything works brilliant! However, I appear to be having an issue with the sensor from the lid. it appears to think that it opens and closes randomly. see an image here [1], the screen was open all the time. I have disabled all the power preferences that relate to the lid functions, so it doesn't bug me, although every now and then the screen flashes off and on. Is it worth sending it back for repairs? or something i should only do if it bugs me enough? thanks --Michael [1] http://www.mgfletcher.com/pictures/eee/power_history.png -- _________________________________ Michael Fletcher Visit my website here - http://www.mgfletcher.com/blog Interested in Linux?

Hi Michael, I got a 901 a few weeks ago and installed eeexubuntu. Working very well after a bit of fiddling about with the wireless. I haven't had any issues with the lid sensor. Sounds like a problem with the hardware, so probably worth sending back for repairs. All the best, Tim -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
