[Bug 62990] Re: HAL fails to initialize on ASUS A6 series notebooks

[Antti Koskinen]

Here's a partial solution that works at least on my A6Km. Fire up your
text editor and point it at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Add the following
line and then reboot.

blacklist asus_acpi

For some reason the hal daemon in Edgy doesn't like this module (Asus
notebook acpi extras) on the A6 series notebooks. This line will prevent
the module from loading and make hald, suspend etc. work again.

The downside is you'll lose some acpi controlled functionality, like the
LCD brightness buttons.
