Asus EeePC 901BackTrack 2, 3 video mode

 Sometimes when you try to boot some Live BackTrack linux distributions in a Asus EeePC 701 or 901 you don't get a full view in your laptop screen, the upper and bellow sides are cut. And this it's really annoying.

I bring you a solution that its very well known throught linux or Eeepc forum communities. So I resume to the easier.

Download the bellow video module and copy it to
/ROOT/BT3/modules/ of your PenDrive or SD/Card.

Download bellow 901_net_gfx.lzm (1.6MB) file

 http://sharecash.org/download.php?id=104810
 (See here how to bypass sharecash download offer form)


Now edit the file syslinux.cfg located in  
/ROOT/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

and add this entry. You could edit labels as you like.
LABEL eeepc
MENU LABEL Asus EeePC
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw changes=/changes/slaxsave.dat load=901_net_gfx autoexec=xconf;kdm
 add them just after these lines
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 1
DEFAULT /boot/vesamenu.c32
 Then select your label in the Boot Manager & Backup Manager when you are starting Linux.
