eee-control for Gentoo

Eee-control is a nice tool to control various features of an EeePC, such as certain hardware (Bluetooth, WLAN, etc.) as well as power management. Installing this package on a Gentoo system takes some work, but I’ve created an ebuild that takes care of the most. Please have a look at the dedicated page which contains a link to the ebuild as well as full documentation on how to get eee-control running on Gentoo.

    Die Sache mit dem Ebuild ist hervorragend! Das hätte ich mal vor einigen Monaten lesen sollen, da habe ich mich nämlich recht lange mit diesem Paket herumgeschlagen – und es nicht hinbekommen….

    Hi, I ran into trouble with the ebuild for eee-control-0.9.0. When I ran ‘ebuild … manifest’ command, it complained about “invalid atom >=i2c-tools-3.0.2[python]“. I had to edit the RDEPEND variable in the ebuild file and change the line “>=i2c-tools-3.0.2[python]” to “>=sys-apps/i2c-tools-3.0.2[python]”
    regards, Ondrej
