I agree. This one is owned by my wife, who does not want to change the system 
that was shipped with it ( Xandros).

I built a kernel that included this driver and the EEEPC is now working quite 
well as a diskless station.
But i have to launch Xorg locally.

It doesn't start on XDMCP mode and i didn't found yet what is wrong with this. 

/I think  i will start another thread on a Xorg dedicated list about this 
point and the touchpad configuration./
