Asus eeepc 1005PEB freezes sometimes

[paradoja]

First of all, check if Graphics Card has been configured correctly?

sudo lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Post output here.

Hey! I'm new in Ubuntu. I installed the 10.10 version in an Asus eeepc 1005PEB and it freezes sometimes, no reason.
I tried to put that in the Terminal thing, but first I did it and said that the VGA controller was Intel Corporation N10 family integrated graphics controller. I put the second thing (grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and it said it didn't find the file. I can't reproduce exactly what it said because I closed the window and when I tried to do the thing all over again, I posted the sudo lspci | grep -i vga, it demanded the pass and it wouldn't let me type it, I don't know why... I'm not an expert with computers, in fact I'm learning how to do these kind of things. Sorry for the newbe-overdose. Help!!! Thank you!!!

Hi and Welcome !

Whenever you type password, nothing appears on screen, not even '*******' like graphical interface. Just type correct password and hit enter key.

Have you tried to change resolution?

Ok, the password thing worked. I was expecting the *****, exactly like you said.
This is the answer when I write all those things in the Terminal:

grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory

I changed the Compiz for Metacity, because I read somewhere that could be the problem. I didn't try to change resolution, should I?

Hey I have that exact same netbook. 1005PEB. I haven't been able to find anyone else with the exact same one. I'm also running Ubuntu 10.10. I'm sorry I'm just a beginner and I can't contribute to your question but do you have a brightness setting problem as well? My brightness setting are all out of order and I can't get it to go full brightness.

Thanks! It worked. GNOME power manager still doesn't work right but at least my function keys work and I can finally get my brightness to full level. My eyes were struggling there for a while.

Figured since this is a Asus EEEPC thread, I'd add this also.
