Fedora 11 (Leonidas) on the Eee PC 1000
I just installed Fedora 11 on my Eee PC 1000. This time, for a change, I decided to go with KDE instead of GNOME.
I am really enjoying it so far.
I've already addressed some of the existing issues on getting Fedora 11 to work on the Eee PC 1000.
The only other issue, I will add is getting the 'tap-to-click' enabled with your touchpad. Fedora 11 (Live version) does not seem to generate a xorg.conf, so what I did to enable this setting was to add a shell script under $HOME/.kde/Autostart/ with the following content:
The value for each button represents the number of fingers touching the pad.
That will enable 'tap-to-click' every time you login.
Update 1: As always pulseaudio is causing me problems. I could not get my sound to work at all on KDE 4.2. The solution was to remove pulseaudio, and everything worked fine.
