Did you try to update your BIOS?

Did you try to update your BIOS?

Rev 318 is latest.
I cannot downgrade (tried).
Tried flashing with same rev, it won't work.

[Apopas]

I can not understand how the BIOS changes could be related to the OS, but still why don't you try with another distro, OpenSUSE for example, to see if it happens again?

[foormea]

I could try that.
Do you use it with linux? Do you have the same behaviour?

[Apopas]

No no, I don't even have this netbook. I just find odd such behaviour.

[not.sure]

Hoax or not, but obviously ASUS does "work better with windows"..

[Apopas]

I don't get it... If Linux was preinstalled in their machines wouldn't work fine as well?

[foormea]

It's not. They ship it with a 7.

[Apopas]

Yes and since they ship it they have to make it work properly with this specific OS. If they had been shipped it with Linux, obviously everything would work out of the box with Linux...
So the correct phrase is "ASUS work better with the OS of their preference".

Why don't you shut up and help instead of polluting the thread?
